A college student in Columbia, South Carolina was kidnapped by three men at gunpoint. Fearing the worst, she used some Jason Bourne level-problem solving and her manual transmission car to get away safely.
According to newspaper The State, 20-year-old Jordan Dinsmore found herself in one of the worst situations possible when three men approached her, pushed her to the ground and put a gun to her head. The publication reports that they forced her to drive her car and withdraw money from an ATM and then told her that she was going to be taken to a location to be raped.
But Dinsmore had one advantage, The State reportswhen the men first put her into the car they couldnt drive it because it had a manual transmission, so they made her take the drivers seat. That is when she concocted a plan to escape. After she withdrew $300 out of the ATM, she got back into the car and left her seatbelt off, she hoped her kidnappers didnt notice the seatbelt alarm chiming.(snip)
I was thinking somehow I have to get out of this, Dinsmore said. Can I crash the car? No, because it might knock me out and not them. Can I pull over or something? I have to get away from them.
The Slate reports that she purposefully missed the turn and rolled her car into the intersection, threw her car in neutral, then she opened the door and jumped out, while the vehicle was moving at 35 mph.
Once she landed she screamed for help, a woman came to her and called 911. Dinsmore suffered only minor scrapes and bruises from her escape and her 2009 Scion even managed to be in pretty decent shape after the attackers crashed it, The State reports.

OMG! What incisive—and Christian—"analysis".
Obviously there's no point in carrying on a discussion with such asinine bigotry on display.
Have a nice day.
When my son’s car got totaled, he insisted that he had to get a car with a manual transmission. And, he did. Strangely enough, one of the ones he looked at was a Scion!
you are delusional.
maybe you live in black Mayberry.
Try other notorious neighborhoods then get back to us.
Don’t judge the FBI by their appointed directors.
Raquan Green. I guess he is Amish?
Quite the opposite. Suit yourself.
The gentleman I was speaking with said he had never met a black person who wasn't racist.
So who's really delusional?
And your assumption would be correct.
Bingo.
But, but, but.... That would be racist
I’d be interested in your thoughts regarding islamic terrorism...
So if a snowflakes crashed into a lake they’ll drown cause they don’t know how to roll down the windows........

No problem. I should’ve put the /sarcasm tag on it just to make sure.
With a name like Raquan Green, the 17 year old...not hard to guess.
we just bought our grandbaby in law a manual, too! No one she knows can borrow it, lol.
True,.but when I was young and broke, I had a Honda Accord with no clutch for the better part of a year. It can be done.
ATM transactions need to be upgraded so that crime victims when making forced withdrawals can send a coded message they are under duress
-x-x-x-x-x-
Damn fine idea........
White privilege intellect triumphs over black lives matter stupidity....
My 18 year old has been driving my manual since he was 16
