FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Brightline train collided with a vehicle late Sunday night that was on the tracks in Fort Lauderdale, authorities confirmed.

The crash was reported just before midnight in the 900 block of Northeast Flagler Drive as the train was heading south, first responders confirmed.

Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue officials said the car was dragged by the train to the 400 block of Northeast Flagler Drive.

The husband of the woman who was driving the red car told Local 10 News that the car became lodged underneath the train after the collision.

FLFR officials said the woman was able to exit the car by herself and crews found her on the ground next to the vehicle when they arrived.

According to the woman’s husband, she suffered a broken hand and busted lip, but is expected to be OK.

FLFR officials confirmed that the woman was transported to Broward Health Medical Center with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

A hair stylist at a nearby barbershop told Local 10 News that she’s never seen anything like this before.

“The Brightline train is just stopped right in front of me, and the car is just jammed right underneath. Actually, by a miracle, the driver’s seat where the driver was, was the only seat that wasn’t completely smacked by the train,” the hair stylist said.

The circumstances leading up to the collision remain under investigation.
