Miracle escape for passengers in car smashed by train in Davos

Three British businessmen attending the World Economic Forum suffered a terrifying ordeal when their car was smashed into by a train on a level crossing.



Amateur footage of the incident shows the train approaching the stationary car, and you can hear a desperate whistle coming from the locomotive before it plows into the Volkswagen at speed.



The car got caught between the two barriers due to a traffic build up around the tiny Swiss town of Davos.



As the driver tried to get the car off the level crossing, the tires started spinning on the ice meaning they couldn't move.



The terrified passengers then had to brace for the impact of the train.



The ruined car was pushed to the side of the tracks by the train, showing damage caused by the impact.
