According to investigators on the scene, the two young men were trying to drive over a set of railroad tracks when their car somehow got stuck.

The teens reportedly got out of the vehicle and noticed that one of their tires had blown, and was lodged into the tracks. The two men tried to free the car but then a saw a train in the distance and ran to a nearby home for help.

"When I was walking over there to the car I saw the train on the track and I was like, 'Man we got to do something quick before something really bad happens," said Ray Arroyo, of the Lower Valley.

Police were able to get in touch with Union Pacific officials, who rerouted the train to a nearby track before it came in contact with the teens' vehicle.

The car was safely towed away from the tracks and no one was injured.
