Man lucky to be alive after car collides with train
An elderly driver is lucky to be alive after colliding with a train overnight.
The 76-year-old man was travelling along Bell St, in Coburg, when he somehow drove around boom gates.
A train was departing Coburg station at the same time and crashed into the man's white hatch, pushing it along the tracks.
