Town N Country, Florida – A woman is in stable condition after being ejected through the sunroof of her SUV during an accident.
Thirty-seven-year-old Ruth Matthews told paramedics that another vehicle cut her off in traffic, and she took evasive action to avoid a crash. Her Isuzu Amigo rolled over and she was thrown through the sunroof and onto the roadway. Investigators say she was not wearing her seatbelt.
Paramedics initially tried to fly Matthews to Tampa General Hospital, but her weight, estimated at 600 pounds, made it impossible. Emergency crews were able to transport her to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where she is listed in stable condition.
Authorities are continuing their investigation.

Attached is the image of the SUV. Notice the sunroof has been sorta, split open by her girth.
According to the reporter that was there, she had KFC in the seat next to her, and they assume it made the steering wheel too slippery, but they couldn't print that.
Fuckin' A, America
