A woman is very lucky to be alive after suffering a Final Destination-like accident. She almost died when a 4-inch rusty metal bolt went through her car's windshield. It then impaled through her headrest.

Miraculously, she only suffered cuts to her face and limbs. Somehow, she avoided the metal bolt similar to Final Destination 2. Carla Wood was driving to yoga class when the incident happened. According to Wood, she had an incident with a cargo truck in England.
"[The cargo truck] was coming toward me. He was going at great speed, about 70 mph, and the road itself is quite bumpy," Wood recalled. "He had come around the bend, and I could see the vehicle was bouncing. Something made me slow down. I had the roof down on my car, and I could see something hurtling through the air. I was kind of watching it in slow motion."
Wood believes her late daughter's spirit save her from the accident.
'Final Destination'-Like Accident
"Then something, which I do believe was my daughter Chloe, who passed away 16 years ago [at age 18], told me to go to the left," she said. "I definitely believe in another world, and we're just vessels here."
"I believe she was in the car pulling me to the left — I felt like a force," Carla continued, before describing the moment the bolt struck. "The normal reaction would've been to go to the right. Next thing, the vehicle had gone past, and there was a loud noise and glass had shattered everywhere."
She was just inches from being dead after the incident.
"This van stopped, and when I got out of the car, [the van driver] said, 'Oh my goodness.' He was looking at my headrest, and it was dented full of the rusty bolt," Carla said. "If it had hit my head, I think I would've died."
"I'm so fortunate to be here. I thought I'd be okay when the time came, but [it made me realize] how precious my life is and I've got a lot of life in me," she concluded. "It makes you realize I'm not ready to go yet. It's a wake-up call to live every day to its fullest."
