A woman, 21, who survived a 'Dukes of Hazard-style' horror crash in a now-viral video said she was left severely injured and makes it difficult to sleep.
Tanaijsha Bruton soared 120 feet in the air - struck another vehicle and tumbled end over end before coming to rest upside down during the May 24 Georgia highway wreck.
Video from the incident quickly went viral and drew comparisons to various TV and movie car chase scenes.
Bruton told WALB-TV she couldn't remember everything from the incident, but was shown the ordeal on social media. She said she remembered the pain she felt afterward.
'It hurts really, really bad. I felt everything,' she said.
A Lowndes County sheriff's deputy was responding to an earlier wreck on the day when his body camera recorded Bruton's sedan flying into the air after driving up the ramp of a tow truck.
The astonishing footage showed the moment Bruton's car flipped after hitting the ramp of the tow truck at full speed.
At the time, a Georgia State Patrol confirmed that a 21-year-old Tallahassee woman was severely injured in the airborne crash on Highway 84, but miraculously managed to survive. Bruton was , who was transported to the South Georgia Medical Center after the crash near Valdosta, Georgia.
The deputy rushed to help Bruton who was transported to South Georgia Medical Center after the crash near Valdosta, Georgia.

Tanaijsha
Of course it was Tanaijsha
has she got a pilot’s license?
Dollars to doughnuts her eyes were on her phone and not the road.
I hope she will come out ok.
Ideally, the less charges the better.
She needs to paint a confederate battle flag on the top of her car
It's almost a given...
No other explanation can really be given.
Daisy, Daisy,
Into the air you flew
You’re so lucky
To survive the crash like a Duke...
my first thought also. On the phone.
Interstate highways in Georgia are the worst I have ever seen about dealing with abandoned vehicles and debris in the shoulder, and Georgia drivers come to expect them. All drivers should be aware of the possibility of a disabled or emergency vehicle in the left lane. Visibility was excellent, the road straight and flat. She had NO excuse.
Situational Awareness is severely lacking in most of America.
Check out the pic.
She’s Lizzo’s twin.
No blame on her, what a trip!
In time, automobile manufacturers will include airbags in seats and overheads for such crashes.
So don’t drive up the back of a tow truck moron.
Girls are still wearing the strategically busted up denim?
I thought that was long over.
This must be a Before The Crash photo.
If she was severely injured, she would not be able to casually balance herself like that.
I hope she laughs about it in the future.
How did she not see a big truck in front of her in daylight and clear weather? She had to be distracted.
Baby got back.
The pressure from the blubber on her hips and thighs blew up the denim.
