She was bleeding profusely, including from her ear. This is an assumption on my part, but I doubt she was wearing a seatbelt given the speed at which she was ejected.

TVPSD responded promptly.

Please say a prayer for her, and the driver of the cart.
It sounds like she was very lucky someone like you was the first on the scene.


Here's hoping she will be OK.


Seatbelts really are a very cheap and effective way...of helping to avoid this type of incident.
