But I had the same question. Maybe she has a little cat DNA.

If it was cat DNA, the car would have landed on all fours.

(Glad she survived, what a story she'll have.)

I'll bet she was wearing a seatbelt.

But she is also very lucky because a seatbelt won't prevent a head injury when the roof gets crushed like that.

This is why we are considering a newer car for our son for an early graduation present: newer vehicles are built far better than older ones.

You’re buying your son a car? How many cars are in your household again?

I'm sure she must have had major injuries even if she was wearing a seatbelt, etc.
