The young woman, 20-year-old, saw the lorry trailer begin to fall and managed to roll into the foetal position.
Her quick reactions saved her life as her grey Nissan was completely crushed, its underside left touching the floor with the red lorry trailer resting on top of it.
She then bravely clambered out of the car through the passenger side.
She was left with only a hand injury after her lightning-fast reactions
The dramatic incident happened today at 8.30am in Uttoxeter.
'The man driving the lorry was uninjured but understandably shaken by the incident.'
Given the level of damage to the car, had she not had the presence of mind to act the way that she did, the level of injury would certainly have been serious if not worse.
