The accident that resulted in the car being overturned happened late Monday night on FM 2493, just east of Highway 69.

Diyamon Martin lost control of the car and overcorrected in an accident that resulted in the car being overturned.

"I just let go of the wheel and covered my face," said Martin.

Martin was flung from the car and somehow ended up lodged beneath it. Her sister, Monie Rodgers, in an effort to save her life, lifted the vehicle pulling her to safety.

"I didn't know how I was going to get it off of her," said Monie. "I just started praying and I pushed it up and it just came up."

Martin's leg was crushed. Her lungs were punctured. She has nine broken ribs amazingly she has survived.
