A woman in Brooksville, Florida, is happy to be alive after a state trooper saved her from being strangled by her seatbelt on Thursday evening.
The 38-year-old victim, whose name has not been released, became entangled in the passenger side seatbelt of her 2010 Toyota when her 4-year-old daughter put the seatbelt around the woman’s neck to protest being put in a child seat.The seatbelt then locked in place, squeezing the woman’s neck and making it difficult to breathe.
Although her husband tried to remove the seatbelt, his efforts only tightened it more, according to BayNews9.com.
