Driver opens up about terrifying ‘Dukes of Hazzard-style’ crash

A woman who was captured on video flying through the air in her car in a “Dukes of Hazzard-style” crash in Georgia said she feared that she was going to die — and hasn’t been able to have any shuteye without being haunted by nightmares of the horrific ordeal.

“I don’t really remember much, but I know that I thought I was going to die,” Tanaijsha Bruton, 21, told WALB-TV. “It hurts really, really bad. I felt everything.”

A Lowndes County sheriff’s deputy was at the scene of an accident May 24 when his body camera captured Bruton’s car speeding up the ramp of a flatbed truck, soaring 120 feet in the air and crashing.

The vehicle hit another car that was traveling along the highway, causing it to be thrown another 23 feet after impact.

“When I go to sleep that’s pretty much what I dream about,” Bruton told WALB. “It just replays over and over.”

She has undergone four surgeries at the University of Florida Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Florida.

“Nobody expected me to make it. Not even my family. They didn’t expect me to make it at all,” she said.

“I’m just grateful that throughout all the surgeries, I’m still here, and able to see another day,” Bruton said.

“I thought it was over. I blacked out. I don’t really remember much, but I know that I thought I was going to die, and it hurts. It hurts really, really bad. I felt everything,” she added.

Bruton said she feels like she has received all the blame for the incident but believes both sides were wrong.

She said her family didn’t want her to see the scary footage, “but of course, I’m hardheaded and got on social media. One of my friends mentioned me in the video and said, ‘Oh this is you,’ and I was like, ‘This me? This my car?’”
