How does a conductor narrowly avoid colliding with  a pedestrian on the tracks? It's not like he could swerve to avoid him.

According to the train driver, who asked to keep their confidentiality, they noticed Mr. Sujinda attempting to cross the tracks. The driver immediately slowed down and applied the brakes, prompting Mr. Sujinda to jump towards the front of the train. Thankfully, the driver managed to stop the train in time, preventing a more serious collision. Additionally, rescue workers reported that the injured man was intoxicated.

So, which number is lucky ?  52  or 35  ?  Guess I'll have to get two lotto tickets.

His brakes worked, but no mention if the driver sounded his horn. Maybe to busy stopping the train, well done driver for spotting this fool.

I take it the train driver swerved to miss the pedestrian.
