That woman tried to swerve out of the way to avoid being hit, but in the process, her car flipped over several times before landing in the woods on the side of the interstate.

“I immediately got out of the car to make sure she was ok,” Reeding said.

The gray minivan suffered major damage all over, including a crushed windshield.
