Woman Narrowly Misses Train After Car Stalls On Tracks

A woman is recovering after an unintentional game of chicken with a train.

It happened Monday as the train was approaching a station in Florida around 2pm.

The driver, identified as Kristen Taylor, reportedly just bought a new car and was still learning to use the stick shift when it stalled on the tracks.

The train was traveling around 35 mph and the conductor tried to stop it but it was too late. Taylor was taken to the hospital with minor injuries from flying debris and is recovering.

We've seen several risky situations turn out much better than expected.
