When I rolled up on this scene. I automatically assumed it was a fatality. The woman driving the Saturn under this fully loaded cement truck only suffered a cut on her forearm and a slight bump un the head. She actually helped pull herself out after we lifted the truck off her and cut her out. (an hour and a half later..) The driver of the truck had a broken leg, and arm and head severe head injuries.
