Rescuers cut the roof off to get the driver out. The car hit the concrete post under the overpass.

"Speed seems to be a factor." Ya think ? Seen to many of these things, she is a very lucky woman.

I don't think she was racing at all but thank goodness she lived to tell the tale.


In addition, That'll buff right out!

Lol...but how would you have that kind of damage taking a ramp unless you were humpin? I was of course exaggerating at 120.

I would like to get the trunk. It seems to be in good shape, and it will come with a free GT500 spoiler. I can remove the stripes, right, they're just vinyl? And then no paint is needed. Sweet.

Oh, and lucky woman to have survived... man. Bet she doesn't do that again.

Guess thats a testament to the air bags, crumple zones etc. I don't think that would have been survivable in an older Mustang.

When I first glanced at the pics I thought "wow, amazing that she survived a convertible"

until I realized that its not supposed to be a convertable

glad and amazed that the driver survived
