A 28-year-old woman, driving a 2004 GMC Envoy SUV, was traveling near North Carefree Circle and Scenic Circle when she was involved in an accident. According to KKTV 11, she drifted off the road and hit a curb, which caused her vehicle to roll and hit a parked truck. The woman was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident and “was partially ejected out of the passenger side window of her SUV.”
Witnesses reported that the vehicle appeared to have landed on the driver’s head. Several good Samaritans lifted the vehicle off of the woman and provided aid until help arrived. She was taken to a hospital and was reported to be in stable condition.
