A potentially dangerous incident occurred in Uster, Switzerland, on Monday morning when a car became trapped between railway barriers on Winterthurerstrasse.
The driver, a 54-year-old Bulgarian, managed to maneuver the vehicle parallel to the tracks, leaving just enough space for an oncoming train to pass safely.
Fortunately, no one was injured, and train services were not disrupted.
The reason why the car ended up in this precarious position remains unclear.
Experts advise that in such situations, drivers should break through the barriers rather than attempt to maneuver, as barriers are designed to break easily.
The driver has been reported to the local authorities for further investigation.
