Photos show the Mustang had its roof torn off and was lodged under the trailer right to where Lawson’s head would have been. Miraculously, the 40-year-old was uninjured and able to get himself out of the vehicle. According to the official report, he refused medical treatment from emergency responders.
Police said that the accident was likely caused by a mechanical failure.
