A Delaware woman trying to free her car from railroad tracks as a train approached was pulled to safety by two strangers moments before the train crushed her vehicle.

Police say the woman took a wrong turn while driving, and ended up stuck on the CSX railroad tracks.

She stayed behind the wheel of the car and tried to accelerate it off the tracks while her sister and two passersby tried to push it free.

"I told her four times to get out of the car," said one of the helpful bystanders who decided to pull her out.
