Maitland, Florida — Video released Thursday shows a SunRail train hitting a car stalled on the tracks in Maitland just as the car's driver jumped to safety.

The conductor can be heard sounding the horn several times just before the train hit the car, which had stalled on the tracks at Packwood and Maitland Avenues Monday afternoon.

The 28-year-old woman told investigators she was just learning to drive the new stick-shift vehicle when it stalled on the tracks.

In the video, the woman can be seen jumping from the car just as the train makes impact. The woman suffered minor injuries when she was hit by her own car.

Witnesses said the woman was only able to get out of her car after someone behind her honked the horn to warn her of the oncoming train.

The crash was the second involving a SunRail train since it began running earlier this month.

The Florida Department of Transportation said it will continue to educate the public about driver safety at the train crossings.
