The incident occurred around 7 a.m. on Saturday, according to Trussville Fire and Rescue chief Tim Shotts.
The driver, a Trussville woman in her 20s, was stable when she was transported to the hospital. Her name has not been made public.
“The driver was ejected from the vehicle,” Shotts said. “Ejections don’t often end well. She’s extremely fortunate. I can’t stress enough how important it is to wear your seatbelt.”

I thought the same ! I see people paying more attention to their phones than driving on a regular basis daily . Blow the horn at them and don’t even look up .

I’m glad she’s going to be ok. I’ve been studying those pictures trying to figure out how that happened and how she lived through it. I hope she realizes how blessed she is!

From looking at the pics a little more it looks like it was a rollover crash at high speed. You can draw your own conclusions as to what caused it.

Speeding AND texting.

Who drives or rides in a car without using a seatbelt? It is just common sense!
Bonnie Andersen Powers

Looks like she took part of that pine tree in the forefront of the photo. Have mercy !
Kathy Whitt Jackson
A lot of young people do. They just don’t think anything can happen to them. Maybe you should just say thank God she was not seriously injured.
Marie Stewart Stewart
God was looking after her!
Brandy White
I can’t imagine how scary this had to be for her. Glad she’s ok. Praying for her ♥️
Chrystal Simmons Cox
Getting thrown from the vehicle may be what actually saved her given what the vehicle looks like. Maybe.
Patricia Daniel
Very lucky.
Amy Bannick Griffin
Unfortunately, I buried a friend years ago because he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. He was ejected from the vehicle and it landed on top of him.
Maybe this accident will be a huge eye opener for her and will drive more safely in the future.
Christopher Russo
Someone is looking over her for sure!! Lordy praying for the driver. Traumatizing….
Josie Smith
She was really blessed by God not to be injured worst

Someone doesn’t know how to take a joke.

This is one time it paid not to be wearing a seatbelt.

If you don’t have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself please. This is someone close to me. God had his hands on her and kept her safe no matter how it happened so please, be mindful of the family and that they can read the things y’all say too. Thank you.
Brenda Nichols Waymark
So glad she will be ok- she had a guardian Angel protecting her.
Erin Riggins Beeson
Chrystal Simmons Cox my husband was in a wreck when he was younger. He was ejected. If he had his seatbelt on he wouldn’t have survived. Not saying I agree with not wearing one, but he doesn’t wear one every time he gets in a car.
Jen Brown Dexter
Prayers for her and her family/friends.
Jeff Jessen
Was that a Hyundai Elantra? Or maybe a Honda?
Chuck Browning
I have not seen anything rude plus we don’t even know who it is. All I’ve seen is some assumptions on how it happened and most sound correct unless she had a tire blow.
Chuck Browning
🙄
Erika Dawn Herda
Is there a problem with what I said?
Chuck Browning
Nope but I have not seen one thing on here bad other than people trying to figure out what happened in a horrific one car accident. If it was a family or friend nothing on here would have offended me, maybe I missed it 🤔
Peggy Willis
Someone was watching over her.
