Amazing Roll Over Video
Roll Over Video
WEBBERVILLE, Mich. - Police in Michigan are looking for a driver who sideswiped an SUV, causing it to roll several times.
A Michigan Sheriff's Deputy had her dashboard video camera running at the time of the crash.
The driver of the car that sideswiped the SUV fled the scene.
Emily Bowness, 29, of Grand Rapids, Mich. survived the rollover in her SUV.
Sheriff Gene Wriggelsworth released the video of the crash Tuesday morning, saying Bowness' seat belt saved her life.
Bowness was treated and released from Sparrow Hospital after the collision.
"I couldn't believe (she) lived through that without at least being incapacitated," Wriggelsworth said in a press conference Tuesday.
Bowness and the hit-and-run driver were traveling in the eastbound lanes of I-96 around 2:30 p.m. when the crash happened.
According to deputies, the unknown driver merged into Bowness' lane, apparently knocking her Ford Explorer aside to avoid a vehicle that was attempting to enter highway traffic.
The unknown driver continued east while Bowness' vehicle swerved off the highway, jumped back into the traffic lanes and then rolled into a ditch filled with water.
"I couldn't believe the number of times it flipped. This technically should have been a fatal. She flipped seven or eight times," Oakland County Deputy Kimberly Potts said.
She was trailing Bowness Monday by about five car lengths and had her video recorder playing as she returned to her job after a DARE conference in Lansing.
The 16-year deputy said she didn't race after the unknown driver because she was worried about Bowness, who had been traveling to a music concert.
Potts called for help and tried to soothe Bowness, who was bleeding from the head and mouth.
"She was kind of disoriented," Potts said.
Potts was unable to provide a description of the unknown driver or his car.
Once identified, that person faces one year in jail if convicted of the misdemeanor charge of leaving the scene of an accident. The charge would have been a felony if Bowness had died.
