A pregnant woman survived a freak accident in which a colossal girder staved in the roof of her car - avoiding serious injury partly because she was less than five feet tall.
Pint-sized office worker Kelli Chapman - who is just 4ft 11in tall - was stationary at traffic lights when the 30ft-long girder slipped from a passing lorry and smashed in the windscreen of the Volkswagen Golf, collapsing the roof above the driver's seat.
According to the Sun, crash experts said that the diminutive 26-year-old - who is three months pregnant - would have been killed if she was just three inches taller.
The accident took place in Ammanford, South Wales, as the mother-to-be popped home for lunch.
She saw the one-and-a-half tonne lump of metal start to move as a lorry came around a corner in the centre of the Carmarthenshire town.
"I heard a huge crash," she told the Daily Express.
"The roof of my car caved in and there was a huge lump of steel inches from my head."
However, she was able to keep her wits about her after the impact, phoning to tell her police officer father "some metal has fallen on my car", as she sat trapped in the vehicle, surrounded by broken glass.
PC Chapman hailed the "miracle" escape of his daughter.
"The car is a complete write-off, but incredibly Kelli walked away without a cut," he said.
"She is so incredibly lucky."
