Horror scenario during a practice drive! The young driver (16) stopped her car in front of a railroad crossing controlled by traffic lights so that she could then move into the cross traffic on the main road. The vehicle's engine probably died during the stopping maneuver. The teenager did not manage to restart the vehicle. The car was subsequently hit by a train. 

Teenager injured
Despite the train driver quickly initiating emergency braking, the railcar collided with the rear of the car. The 16-year-old girl had to be taken to the Wiener Neustadt Regional Hospital with injuries, her passenger remained unharmed. The train driver (59) and the six people in the train also suffered no injuries.
