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.

Man, I bet they'd never seen three acres of road rash before.

A "fat chance" ping.

She drove an Isuzu, which validates my theory: "The size of the vehicle is inversely proportional to the size of the driver."

Can you imagine the force it took to get that bulk through that small sunroof???

I'm thinking about the poor people that saw that mass come out of the sun roof.

Click it or ticket, baby.

I'm the last person that should be making fun of someone's appearance, but if you're 600 lbs., you need to start making some life changing decisions.

I was reading where the paramedics tried to fly her to the hospital, but she was too heavy. My guess is they tried using a lightweight chopper. Methinks they need one of these:

And if that doesn't do the job, get one of these:
