The 23-year-old motorcyclist was on his way to make a drop-off in the southeastern Buenos Aires city of Quilmes when he decided to disregard a sign asking motorists to stop at the railroad crossing Saturday night.
The man certainly appeared to be in a rush to get to his destination and rode around a van that had stopped at the intersection.
The biker positioned himself around the lowered gate and looked in both directions, but apparently miscalculated the train's distance and speed.
He subsequently started to advance over the track when the train suddenly rammed into his motorcycle and threw him to the ground.

The impact of the violent sent him crashing to the ground and left his motorcycle in pieces.

The man was transported to Iriarte Hospital and treated for fractures to both of his legs.

The accident comes just almost two weeks after four-year-old Thian Alfaro was killed by a train in the Buenos Aires town of Bosques, according to local media.

The child was walking with his mother to a party on August 14 when he let go of his mother’s hand and ran over the train tracks.

The train engineer did’t have enough time to press the breaks and slammed into the boy, who was declared dead at the scene.

Two days later, a 24-year-old Peruvian mother was returning from a doctor’s appointment with her five-month-old baby when she was killed by a cargo train in the central Argentine municipality of Córdoba.

Authorities said Pamela Farro was surprised by the train and tossed her infant to the ground to save its life. The baby was hospitalized with a head injury.
