GREER, S.C. — A woman whose car got stuck on railroad tracks was rescued moments before an Amtrak train smashed the vehicle.
“I am very, very grateful,” Betsy DeVall, 53, said Wednesday.
Police Sgt. Marcus O’Shields said he was parked nearby when he saw DeVall turn onto the tracks early Tuesday and get stuck.
“About the same time is when I heard the train coming, and I started to coaxing the driver and telling her we need to get out of the vehicle, we need to get off these tracks,” O’Shields told CNN.
DeVall said she thought she was pulling onto a side road to “get out of the way of traffic” to call a friend.
