Texas - Erin Reynolds walked away from what life-threatening crash after an 18-wheeler smashed into her Hyundai Sonata.

Reynolds told KHOU News that she was driving a long a highway before she knew it was being pushed along by a heavy truck.

The car was pushed horizontally across the truck and Reynolds was left starring at the grille.

Blown a tyre

The truck driver, Russel Neal, believed that he had blown one of his front tyres. He carried on driving until he saw smoke bellowing from the front of the truck.

That's when he stopped and found Reynolds' crushed Sonata.

Reynolds walked away unscathed but was visibly shaken.
