A South African woman named Mandy narrowly escaped death on 13 April 2026 when a stranger hurled a cement block through her windscreen as she drove along the N2 highway from Somerset at 120 km/h. The block struck her directly in the face, fracturing her cheekbone in three places and knocking her unconscious on impact. In the seconds that followed, her mother and sister, who were passengers in the car, grabbed the steering wheel and prayed aloud until the vehicle came to a stop without crashing.
Mandy shared the story in a series of selfie-style video updates posted on TikTok by @sassymandy1990 on 8 July 2026, documenting her recovery from her bedroom. The footage showed heavy bruising, swelling, and a healing wound around her left eye and cheek. She said:
"Jesus saved my life on April 13th, 2026. It hit, but thank the Lord, the swelling went down. I don't remember anything, but the Lord really worked through me."
She wrote in the caption:
