GRAY COURT, SC (FOX Carolina) -

Troopers said a drunk driver is lucky she was not seriously injured when she got her car stuck on a set of railroad tracks and was then hit by a train.

The Highway Patrol said Shauna Miller, 39, of Laurens, was inside her car when the freight train hit, but she was not hurt.

The accident happened about midnight off Old Laurens Road near Stoddard Mill Road.

Troopers said Miller was charged with driving under the influence.
