Teen Driver Somehow Survives Horror Crash Which Saw Car Wrecked By Oncoming Train
(CEN)
A teenager and his female passenger miraculously survived, after they were flung through the air, after being hit by a train.
The car was completely destroyed, after a full-speed train knocked it into it a nearby car park.
Hurtling through the air in a cloud of dust, it spun and threw the pair into the air, before they landed on the ground.
Shocking images were captured on a surveillance camera.
The train driver has described how he was looking into their faces as he hit them.
He said: “I saw the driver simply drive past the crossing and on to the railway, even though I was approaching at full speed.
“Because it was a high-speed train, I had absolutely no chance of stopping.
“I could see them both looking at me and I had no other choice but to carry on until I hit them.”
An eyewitness, who saw them being taken away in an ambulance, has told how lucky they were that the train hit the rear of the car.
He said: “They were both covered in blood and clearly badly hurt but still alive.”
The 19-year-old driver has not been named. He and his passenger will be questioned by police, when their conditions improve.
