Woman Survives Car and Train Crashes

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- A 37-year-old woman survived two harrowing incidents within a few hours -- first, she was trapped in her car after it veered off the road and then the vehicle was struck by a train.
Lana Hudspeth was talking to rescuers early Sunday morning as they removed her from her 2004 Ford Taurus, state Highway Patrol spokesman Bryan McDougald said. Hudspeth's condition Sunday night was not immediately known.
No one saw the original wreck around 2:30 a.m., when Hudspeth ran off U.S. 76 in Ballentine northwest of Columbia, struck a tree, went down a 30-foot embankment and came to rest on the train tracks, McDougald said.
Hudspeth was either unconscious or couldn't get out of her car for more than two hours, McDougald said. At about 4:45 a.m. a 93-car train traveling 47 mph struck Hudspeth's car, pushing it 300 yards down the track, McDougald said.

I heard about that the other day on the news.
Want to talk about luck? How about the 73 y/o lady in St. Petersburg who fell 9 stories off of her balcony and has only very minor injuries. She landed on a canvas awning and didn't even get hurt.
