In a video that has gone viral on social media, cops could be seen pulling out a man from the wreckage of a plane that crashed right in the middle of a railway track.

Just after pulling the bloodied man from the plane, one of the officers could be heard shouting, "Go, go, go!" and seconds later, a train comes ramming into the wreckage.

Reasons leading to the crash

According to CNN, the incident happened Friday, January 7, in Los Angeles, and the pilot was the only one in the private, single-engine Cessna 172 plane.

The LAPD's body cam recorded the incident and there were no reports of injuries suffered on the ground. The lucky pilot was taken to a regional trauma centre but the extent of his injuries was not revealed.

He had taken off from the nearby Whiteman Airport before crashing after reportedly losing power.
