In Mesa Arizona, a woman was hit in the back of the head by a tire jack that flew into the air after a car collision. The incident happened on Thursday and according to the Mesa Police Department, the woman was only 23-years-old. The reason for all this was the collision of two vehicles on the corner of Emerald Avenue and the Alma School Road. The woman that was driving was carrying a tire jack in the back of her vehicle.
Police officers detailed that the crash happened because the woman did not stop when a traffic light flashed red. Due to this, she rammed into another vehicle that was trying to make a left turn at the corner. The impact caused the tire jack in the back of her car to fly forward and strike her in the back of the head. She suffered a serious injury, as the police said, and was rushed to Scottsdale Osborn hospital.
