I hope she bought a lottery ticket Friday night

The woman behind the wheel of this car (supposedly a Honda Civic) that was hit by a Barrie-bound GO train Friday night had enough sense to exit her vehicle after she got stuck in a rut of snow on the track. Rather than try to get her car off the track, on a stretch of road near York University, she abandoned it.

This is the one time where you don't want to use floor mats.

Screw the car! Cars can get fixed.
Lives? Not so much.

    This happened at Castlefield Ave just north of Eglinton. A log way from York U.
