A Belarus woman survived being run over by a 90mph train after she fell asleep between the tracks after celebrating her birthday.
Svetlana Yurkova, 32, said: "I'd had a few drinks and felt sleepy and just lay down on what I thought was the ground.
"It felt very comfortable, but I later found out it was between two rail tracks and an express train went over me during the night. I didn't even hear it.
"The doctors said it was a good job I was so hard asleep because otherwise I would have woken up with the sound of the train and got my head knocked off."
Emergency services were called by people who saw the train travel over her in Brest in the south west of Belarus and were convinced she was dead.
