Scottish woman survives car crash thanks to loaf of bread

A LUCKY Scottish woman survived what could have been a fatal car accident thanks to a loaf of bread, which projected from the back of the car and cushioned her head against the impact of the crash. 
 
Liz Douglas, 51, said she was on her way home to Stronachlachar after a shopping trip in Glasgow -- about 64 km away -- when the back end of her car began to slide, and she headed toward a telegraph pole.

The car spun around and landed on its roof, but a loaf of bread flew out of Douglas' shopping bags in the back seat and jammed between her head and the roof.

"A medium-sliced white loaf may quite literally have saved me from serious injury or worse," Douglas told the Stirling Observer.

She added, "I was trapped inside the car for almost an hour in total between having the accident and whilst emergency services cut me from the car. During this time, the loaf remained as a cushion and support for my head as I was upside down."    Full Read
