Girl risks death by lying between rail tracks as train speeds over her

A teenage girl has been filmed risking death by lying between rail tracks as a train speeds past just inches over her body.

The stunt, believed to have been taken in Russia, is filmed by a friend while a group of youths can be seen in the background encouraging the girl.

The girl, wearing jeans, trainers and a woolly hat is pictured running onto the track and lying facedown before a train whizzes over her.

After the train passes just inches from her head, the teenager is seen walking from the tracks, grinning as two female friends and a male photographer looks on.
