Rescue effort: Firefighters work to cut the
woman free after the car she was traveling in crashed into the back of a
lorry in China
Horrific: The woman wasn't wearing a seat belt when the car crashed in southern China
When fire crews arrived on the scene, they had to remove the car's unconscious driver from the car before they could painstakingly begin freeing the woman.
Firefighters were then able to slowly enlarge the hole in the windscreen around her neck so that it was big enough for the injured woman's head to be safely freed.
Bloodied and dazed, the woman was stretchered away by waiting paramedics and taken to a nearby hospital.
Stuck: Rescuers had to cut the woman's male companion, who was driving the car, free from the vehicle before they could help her
Free: The woman is stretchered off to hospital having finally been freed from the wreckage of the car
The occupants of two vehicles had a lucky escape earlier this month when a 71-year-old driver fell asleep at the wheel in Taiwan and flipped his car through another motorist's windscreen.
Kang and his family were travelling down a city road when the pensioner fell asleep at the wheel of his silver Daewoo.
His car entered the opposite lane, the one which Kang and his family were driving on, and hit a tree front-end on.
It then span 180 degrees through the air and the rear of the small hatchback went flying into their windshield.
Kang and his family only suffered minor injuries while the driver of the Daewoo also made it out alive.
