Description
Photograph caption dated April 11, 1989 reads, "An injured motorist sits very, very still as Glendale rescue workers stabilize her neck after slicing the roof from her car. She had a narrow escape when a truck struck her station wagon on the Golden State Freeway near Western Avenue and the wagon skidded under the trailer of a semi, trapping her inside. But her injuries proved minor, 'Se was very lucky,' said Glendale Fire Department Battalion Chief Don Biggs. 'She had kind of slid down in the seat.'"
