A 46-year-old woman is lucky to be alive after falling asleep at the wheel of her car at a railway crossing in Hsinchu in Taiwan. A speeding train slammed into the car. The passenger in the vehicle ran out moments before the train hit to make a dash for the emergency release button on the barriers. The driver, identified by her family name Chen, was fined 15,000 Taiwan dollars (US$486) and her license was suspended for a year.
