Danielle George - All Headline News Staff ReporterFort Myers, Florida (AHN)- Preparing for a test drive, Dorothy Byrum, 81, got excited once behind the wheel and apparently stepped on the wrong pedal.

A 37-year-old woman is lucky after surviving two near-fatal accidents within hours of each other. Around 2:30 am on Sunday morning, Lana Hudspeth ran off U. S. 76 in Ballentine northwest of Columbia, struck a tree, went down a 30-foot embankment and came to rest on the train tracks, state Highway Patrol spokesman Bryan McDougald reported. Just over two hours later at 4:45 am Hudspeth was either unconscious or couldn't get out of her car when a 93-car train traveling 47 mph struck Hudspeth's car, pushing it 300 yards down the track. Hudspeth was able to communicate with rescuers as they removed her from her 2004 Ford Taurus. Hudspeth's current condition is unknown - however, authorities report she was stable.

An elderly woman taking a test drive manages to run into a tree, her husband, a salesman, and another car all without leaving the dealership parking lot. The sales manager of Honda of Fort Myers says, "She must have panicked. " Joe Sica says Dorothy Byrum likely stepped on the wrong pedal when she put the new Honda Accord in reverse, causing the car to lurch backward. An open car door struck her 88-year old husband and the salesman along with another vehicle, a wall, and a tree. The impact caused the airbag to deploy. Authorities say Robert Byrum is in good condition following the accident, but the salesman is expected to miss about a week of work. Dorothy Byrum is unhurt, but the car is a complete write-off.
