It is often said that one should not use a mobile phone while driving as it can prove dangerous. A woman, who was using her mobile phone while driving a train as it crashed, is going viral after a video of the incident was posted on Twitter page CCTV Idiots (@cctvidiots).

The popular Twitter page posts videos that show idiotic behaviour from all over the world caught on camera. This particular incident is from Russia and occurred in October 2019.

The video shows the woman typing on her mobile phone while driving the train. While she wasn’t paying attention, the train crashed into another train that was on the track. Though the impact of the crash was huge, the woman driver appeared to have escaped unharmed. The footage shows a lone passenger inside the train who was thrust forward by the impact of the train and was seen laying down after the collision.

Posted Thursday, the video has received more than 8.2 million views.

“If that phone was so smart it would have warned her. But seriously why are there not a bunch of loud sounds going off if you are approaching something to closely at a high speed. Obviously she should have been paying attention but today’s technology could have helped,” commented a user. “She had one job,” said another.

“Unfortunately phone usage whether for social media, texting etc seems to have consumed most of the populations every waking hour. Daily seen on our roads. Crashes are commonplace. Amazing people think what used to take your full attention now only needs a fraction of it,” expressed another netizen.
