In Nelspruit, South Africa a woman was making a left turn in her Ford Fiesta when a tractor trailer running a red-light smashes into her vehicle and rolling on top of it thereby completely crushing it. When the paramedics and police arrived on the scene they had little hope that any survivors would be found in the car. Fortunately Karen Brown, the driver of the vehicle, was in a pocket of car that was unaffected by the tractor trailer accident. After it took the paramedics over an hour to remove her because the wreckage was so bad, she emerged with only minor injuries. After a couple of days Karen was able to see the photos of her vehicle and was shocked by the severity of the accident.
