One 71-year-old woman from central Pennsylvania could certainly double as stuntman on any of the “Fast & Furious” movies, given her most recent stunt.
PennLive reports that, on Friday, the 71-year-old woman was on her way home when she lost control of the car, which flipped 360 degrees until it landed back on its wheels. Despite the severity of the crash, the woman almost literally brushed herself off and walked away. #Badass
“It happened just before 7 a.m. Friday on Route 654 in Lycoming County,” the report says, deeming the one-vehicle accident worthy of being included in the F&F movies, arguably the most famous car-oriented film franchise in Hollywood.
“State Trooper Jacob Sukal reported Monday that Patricia Pfirman of Williamsport was eastbound when she lost control of her Subaru Forester on a curve. The car hit a culvert and ‘then barrel rolled a complete 360’ degrees and stopped upright on its wheels, the trooper said,” the same media outlet notes.
Then, Pfirman called for a ride and drove away. When police arrived at the scene, she was long gone, but since only one vehicle had been involved in the accident, she wasn’t charged or cited. Or, if she was, the report makes no mention of it.
“Pfirman was wearing a seat belt, and the only injuries she received were bruises,” the publication says.
While it’s great that this particular (elderly) driver wasn’t injured, motorists should note that leaving the scene of an accident is illegal. Whether they hit someone else’s car or have been involved in a single-vehicle crash, police recommend waiting until they arrive at the scene, even if no one else was injured. Otherwise, you could be charged with hit and run or leaving the scene of an accident, which is like adding insult to injury after you’ve already wrecked your car.
