A woman fleeing police had a miraculous escape on Sunday after her car was hit by two trains. Police officers tried to stop the 29-year-old woman around 8am after receiving reports of an 'unwanted guest disturbance' at a home in Woods Cross, Utah, in the US.
Her Mercedes E-Class was hit by an oncoming train as she tried to flee police and while officers attempted to pull her from the wreck, the vehicle was hit a second time by another train that came barreling down the tracks.
Following the first collision, which was caught on the patrol car's dash-cam, officers can be seen rushing to the car to help the woman. Despite her car being hit by two trains, she walked away from the accident with only a broken arm. No one else was injured in the incident.
Police had ended up in a short chase with the woman when she refused to pull over for officers. On the dash-cam, the driver can be see heading for the tracks as a train comes down the line. After the first train smashed into the car, the vehicle was hit by a second train .The car was totaled by the crash.
It is unclear whether the woman was intoxicated. She faces charges of evading arrest and police are investigating if further charges will be brought.
