Lizzy Musi
A 21-year-old drag racer lost her car in a spectacular airborne crash Friday — and walked away unscathed.
Lizzy Musi, daughter of famous drag racer Pat Musi, was competing in an American Drag Racing League event in Bristol, Tenn., when her 1968 Camaro spun out of control, the Bristol Herald-Courier reported.
The car veered sideways in the third round of qualifying and the front end crashed into the wall of the track. As the car turned, air caught underneath it, lifting the vehicle up and over the wall as it continued to spin, the newspaper reports.
Miraculously, the young daredevil walked away unharmed — but her car, and a stationary camera that was filming the race, weren't so lucky.
Camera operator Grinner Hester had to jump over the concrete divider and onto the racetrack to avoid the flying car, according to USA Today.
"God was with me during that run," Musi told the Bristol Herald-Courier. "I never got out of a car so quick in my life, and all the officials did a great job making sure I was okay."
