A woman sustained minor injuries this week after her car was slammed into by a freight train in New Jersey.
The 82-year-old said she stopped her car Wednesday afternoon when she saw flashing lights warning that a train was approaching without realizing she was on the tracks, according to Patch.
The CSX train pushed the woman’s car — with her in it — a quarter of a mile before the locomotive was able to stop.
Miraculously, the woman survived with only a minor leg injury, according to the outlet. She was taken to a local hospital.
The incident happened in South Brunswick around 2 p.m.

The crash forced the closure of Route 535 in both directions for hours.
