Video Description
The heavy wet snow continues to be a problem for motorists in the Saint Cloud, MN area as it is making it difficult to get over the larger drifts and snow plow drifts in the roads.
One driver and passenger found out just how bad it was and had to evacuate their vehicle that got stuck in the snow on the train tracks on East Saint Germain Street and 1st Street North.
The driver called 911 and reported she was stuck and a train was coming and everyone got out in time but the BNSF train could not stop in time and hit the car and dragged it about 4 city blocks to the Highway 23 Overpass.
