A near miss

Last summer my boyfriend and I were going on holiday. We were headed to the sea, because we had plans to stay with my uncle.
We chose to go there by car, because trains are so uncomfortable! For our entertainment we were listenng to the music incredibly loud. We were approaching to the unguarded railway crossing. Out of the blue our car stopped. We could not believe that it happened in such inappropiate place! We didn't panic, because there was no train in sight. My boyfriend tried to start the engine, with no result and here came the moment when we started to panic. :)
Suddenly we saw that the train was imminent. We decided not to wait for the impact and push the car out of the tracks. We felt the rush of air as the train passed right behing our backs.
It was a near miss!
If we hadn't pushed the car out of the tracks we wouldn'y have saved our necks.
