VIDEO: Driver survives SUV tumble
A police camera recorded a spectacularly dangerous accident on a highway near Lansing, Michigan. The camera taped an SUV who swerved onto the highway shoulder to avoid a car entering its lane. It would appear that the SUV driver over-compensated returning to the highway, sending the victim into a barrel-roll, narrowly missing another vehicle as it landed on the other side of the road. While the vehicle practically disintegrated, the driver survived with minor injuries. Police on the scene attribute the driver's seat belt for saving her life.
The identity of the other vehicle's driver has not yet been discovered.
