Despite the red light, the nurse decided to slalom between the barriers due to lack of time. The train hit the car but, luckily, the woman managed to get out of her vehicle under her own power. She suffered only minor injuries but was taken to hospital for check-ups.
It was a freight train that hit her. If she escaped miraculously, the train driver was also injured.
“She managed to get out of the car. She was very shaken, but seemed fine,” said residents who rushed to the scene following the accident. According to HBVL, “she is doing quite well. She suffered bruises and scratches, is still in shock and is still in hospital. But the most important thing is that she is healthy. At the time of the collision, she had just finished her tour and was returning home. She knows the area well, but she was confused and scattered and crossed the tracks in a moment of inattention.”
