Town N Country, Florida – A woman is in stable condition after being ejected through the sunroof of her SUV during an accident.
Thirty-seven-year-old Ruth Matthews told paramedics that another vehicle cut her off in traffic, and she took evasive action to avoid a crash. Her Isuzu Amigo rolled over and she was thrown through the sunroof and onto the roadway. Investigators say she was not wearing her seatbelt.
Paramedics initially tried to fly Matthews to Tampa General Hospital, but her weight, estimated at 600 pounds, made it impossible. Emergency crews were able to transport her to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where she is listed in stable condition.
Authorities are continuing their investigation.

How fat does one have to become before they start to think, "Hey, maybe I shouldn't eat this?"

With a 600-pound woman in the driver's seat, are we sure the SUV wasn't just committing suicide?

Obviously too fat to fit through the sun roof of your ultra compact SUV.

How do you get that much though such a small opening? Did she get extruded out the other side 25' tall?

I wanna know how a 600 lb woman gets out the front door of her house, much less manages to perform driving stunts.

Well, I've new admiration for the Isuzu Amigo; who'd have guessed that it was bigger on the inside than it is on the outside?

I wish there was a better shot of the roof, you can see some deformation, that must have been quite the sight...

She wasn't wearing her seat belt. I wonder why.....
To: NormsRevenge
Look closely at the pic. The rear edge of the sunroof opening is bulged upward and back.
