A woman suffered only 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 coming without realizing she was on the tracks, according to The 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.
