DeKalb County (GA) firefighters Monday extricated a woman from her car that was trapped underneath a dump truck, reports fox5atlanta.com.
At Rodgers Lake Road near South DeShon Road, crews rushed to free the nearly smushed woman, the report says. First responders managed to free her and get her into an ambulance about an hour after the accident.
Witnesses say that just before 1 p.m. they saw the driver of the dump truck suddenly brake, lose control, cross the center line, and hit the woman’s car head-on, according to the report.
The car landed in a ditch, upside-down, with the dump truck on top; the driver of the dump truck was not injured but was cited for Failure to Maintain Lane, police say.
The woman, on the other hand, was flown to a hospital and officials say she’s lucky to be alive.
