Mother dives to save pram as it plunges onto train tracks
Every parent's worst nightmare became reality for one mother after her baby's pram rolled onto the train tracks.
Footage shows the terrifying moment the pram rolled onto the train tracks of busy West Ryde station in Sydney.
The mother let go of her pram on the platform and forgets to put on the breaks to retrieve a boy out of the elevator before the doors closed and left him inside.

As the woman gets the boy back, presumably her son, she is caught off guard again as the pram rolls away from her and straight on the tracks.
The mother jumped down to the tracks to save the baby from being hit by a train.
The confronting footage has been released by the NSW Government to draw attention to the large number of avoidable accidents, where there were 5000 'safety related' accidents across the state during 2016.
2000 of the accidents have been caused by people rushing or by people using mobile phones.
