According to reports shared by AOL News, Demi Veasley was driving her 2015 Kia Optima when another vehicle allegedly ran through an intersection and T-boned her car at more than 80 miles per hour. The speed limit in the area was reportedly 50 mph, making the impact even more severe.

The collision was so violent that Veasley’s car split into two separate pieces. Part of the wreckage landed near a gas station while debris scattered across the road. Video footage of the accident quickly spread online, leaving many people unable to believe that anyone inside the car could have survived.

Despite the terrifying impact, Veasley regained consciousness moments later and immediately began praying. She later shared that she kept thanking God because she did not know whether she was alive or dead after the crash. One detail that stood out to her was that although many of her belongings were ripped away during the collision, her cross necklace remained around her neck.

Reports also revealed that the other driver allegedly had no headlights on at the time of the crash, making it difficult for Veasley to see the vehicle approaching. The suspect also reportedly struck another SUV during the incident. Veasley suffered soreness and stiffness but was released from hospital only hours later, something many described as miraculous considering the state of the vehicle.

Social media users were left emotional after seeing the destroyed vehicle and hearing that the teenager survived. Many called it a miracle, while others used the incident to warn people about drunk driving and reckless speeding.
