A 55-year-old woman in Brazil is fortunate to be alive after her vehicle broke down on a train track and was plowed by a train.
A surveillance camera showed the moment the driver's Fiat was coming to a stop as it approached the train track at an intersection in Barra Mansa on Thursday morning.
As the train barreled down the track, a man stepped out of the front passenger seat and attempted to move the car forward before a male cyclist tried to assist by pushing the car.

The motorman also deployed the emergency break system, but the company said the train can still travel more than a half-mile before it comes to a complete stop.
