    Yea, her worst injury was cuts on her hand crawling out of the car over the broken glass.
    Guy rammed her from behind on the inter-state and drove off...UNREAL!

    Thank God a truck driver saw it and stopped to help her.

    Wow...BMW should use her car as an example. So she was going 60 and a guy must have been going 70-75 then. What i am curious about is, when she rolled over 4 times did the side air bags stay on or are they like the steering wheel air bag that pops out and deflates within milliseconds.

    She was on the inter-state and this pick up came barreling up on her (she said it felt like he was doing over 100)
    Then he slowed down behind her...she's the only car on the road, in the slow lane...he speeds up...backs off...speeds up...she's like,m "Why doesn't he pass me"
    She says he almost hits her so she starts to pull to the side to give him more room and he comes up and plows into her rear and she goes off the embankment at 60 or so...he drives off
    Luckily a lady he almost did it too 5 minutes earlier stopped and gave the trooper a partial plate and good description of the pick-up...Crazy MF'er!

    They popped up...EMTs said that all the safety gear kept her in place the entire time. She sprained her ankle when it slipped between the gas pedal and transmission tunnel...that was it...she said she didn't think it would ever stop rolling.

    LOL...oh, ok. Yes, let Jeff worry about getting her a new car. Just hope he sees the logic in getting her another BMW.
