WATCH: Car Soars 120 Feet In The Air After Ramping Off Parked Tow Truck
WOW! This is something right out of “The Dukes Of Hazzard.”
A 21-year-old driver of a 2014 Nissan Altima from Tallahassee, Florida lost her focus on the road in south Georgia while police were responding to an incident on the opposite side of the highway. She somehow managed to accidentally pull off a stunt that many drivers’ intrusive thoughts have been asking them to do for years: use the bed of a rollback tow truck as a ramp. And perhaps even more unlikely, the crash was caught on film.

Footage of the incident was caught on the body-worn camera of Trooper Darryll Fulghum who was responding to the initial incident. It managed to capture the moments leading up to the crash, which shows the Nissan veering toward the shoulder while a tow truck had its bed lowered to the ground.
“Happened yesterday in Rural South Georgia,” wrote /u/Donaltman3, the user who originally posted the video to Reddit. “There was another accident that happened just before this…these people were rubbernecking not paying attention and didn’t see the tow vehicle. The people in the car were banged up but survived, I’m not sure how.”
A copy of the accident report obtained by The Drive reveals that the Nissan only had one occupant, the 21-year-old driver, who was transported to the hospital after being removed from the vehicle. The accident report indicates that the Altima had traveled approximately 120 feet in the air before making contact with the ground and hitting a second Nissan Altima in an adjacent lane while it was rolling over. The airborne Nissan then traveled another 23 feet before coming to a stop.
The driver miraculously survived the horrific crash.
