This is the astonishing moment a teenage driver desperately waved for help out of her window as a semi-truck dragged her car sideways along a Chicago highway.
Footage recorded on Tuesday at around 11:40 a.m. by a motorist travelling on Interstate 294 northbound, in Cook County near milepost 30.25, shows clouds of dust rising from beneath the truck as it travelled along the road, pulling a 2005 black Honda Accord with it.
Illinois State Police later said the car, driven by 19-year-old Laylisha Gardner, was trying to change lanes when it somehow became wedged beneath the truck.
Incredibly, nobody was injured in the dramatic road smash. The truck driver, 52-year-old Mohamed Yousif, eventually pulled over having apparently earlier been oblivious to Gardner’s ordeal.
The video shows how the front of the car was flattened and the windscreen smashed with the young driver somehow having avoided being crushed in the collision.
The truck continues to plow down the road despite the sound of tires screeching along the highway.
