Woman Jumps From Speeding Car
In an extraordinary twist of fate, a 25-year-old woman driving on Route 3 in Nashua, NH, was forced to choose between staying in her vehicle that wasn’t slowing down and suffering a high-speed crash, or jumping out of a moving car. She jumped.
The driver, Rebecca Storm, said she tried to do everything to stop her car, a 1998 Honda Civic, including putting both her feet on the brake, and using the e-brake, WMUR reported. The car wouldn’t stop.
She called 911 for help, but pressed for time, she hang up the call and did the brave thing and tumbled out. Storm got scraped and bruised in the jump, and suffered chipped teeth, but she survived.
Her car was heavily damaged, and had gone twice in for repairs last week.
Storm’s bravery may have caused her minor injuries, but it also saved her life.
