18-year-old girl dies after car stalls on tracks during driving test and is hit by speeding train
In a horrifying incident that was captured on CCTV, a teenage girl died after her car stalled on a train level crossing during her driving test. Her instructor, who was in the seat next to her, jumped out while the girl could not undo her seatbelt in time and was badly injured after the speeding train rammed into the car. Police identified the girl as 18-year-old Angelika, and she passed away later at a hospital despite the best efforts of medical professionals.
According to the Daily Mail, the incident occurred on Thursday (August 23) in the southern Polish village of Zaskale and was even captured on CCTV. A camera at an office close to the scene of the accident shows a red car in the background driving towards the railway tracks. As it reaches the crossing, it slows down and comes to a halt. While the footage is grainy, you can see a man exiting from the passenger side and making his getaway just as the speeding train rams into the vehicle and drags it along for 10 meters.
