A woman whose car was captured on video vaulting into the air over a tow truck and crashing onto a Georgia highway says she’s recovering after spending two weeks in hospital and undergoing several surgeries.
“I don’t really remember much, but I know that I thought I was going to die,” Tanaijsha Bruton told WALB-TV in an interview. “It hurts really, really bad. I felt everything.”
A Lowndes County sheriff’s deputy was responding to an earlier wreck on May 24 when his body camera recorded Bruton’s sedan driving up the ramp of a flatbed tow truck, which had stopped in the highway’s opposite left lane, and flying into the air.

The car soared 37m before landing upside down, according to a police report. It struck another vehicle and tumbled end over end before coming to rest.
