This is the dramatic moment a female motorcyclist is knocked off her bike by a level crossing barrier - narrowly missing an oncoming train.<br /><br />The middle-aged woman was approaching the railway line in Chumphon province, Thailand, on Saturday morning at 8am but was not concentrating on the road ahead.<br /><br />She failed to notice the huge red and white pole with flashing lights descending - and instead of stopping she only hit the breaks at the last second. <br /><br />The metal pole clotheslined her and she was trapped under the black Honda motorcycle which had a front tyre on the train tracks.<br /><br />Station attendent Phijit Meuankaew raced over to the dazed and stricken woman - dragging her to her feet moments before a train speeds by.<br /><br />Thailand's State Railway Department urged road users to take care around train crossings.<br /><br />It said: ''The incident occurred at the level crossing area at Lang Suan Railway Station at approximately 7.55am on April 28. This was the 167 Bangkok to Kantang train.<br /><br />''It was very lucky that the station official saw the accident and ran over. Otherwise, the woman would probably have lost her life and her property would have definitely been damaged.<br /><br />''This is a reminder to everyone to drive their vehicles with caution and do not take for granted someone you love.''
