A Florida woman escaped her stalled car seconds before a commuter train crashed into it. The scary moment was captured on tape.

Holy shit that was like a scene out of some action flick...lol

Only the car didn't blow up like an atomic bomb. Hollywood always has shit blow up in situations like this. The train could hit a bicycle and BOOM! flames everywhere.

Wow. It didn't seem as if she got out of there in time based on the angle.

her car broke down I don't think she had much of a choice


she stopped on the track the other car is stopped in the right place if you try to beat a train make sure you know how to drive :ohno:



Video of the incident, which happened on Monday, shows a woman jumping out of her new Infiniti sport coupe after it stalled on train tracks.
Moments later, a Sunrail train smashes into the new car.
Police told the Orlando Sentinel that the woman had just purchased the car and was getting used to driving a stick shift. :ohno:

This may make you think twice before going around railroad crossing guards.

Wonder what was going through that conductors mind.. no chance to stop train and witnessing someone struggle to get out of car....would be the worst thing to go through (minus the one being hit of course)

Of course she had a choice, to stop 10 feet further back. You don't ever stop on the tracks, specifically because your car could stall or break down. There is zero excuse, it's 100% her fault, and i hope insurance doesn't pay out.

If the car stalls on the tracks, please explain how she has a choice.

He should have been paying attention.

You can't stop a freight train on a dime.
