Iolan Amber Boeken had the ride of her life this morning when her car went out of control and rolled on Montana Road southeast of Gates Corporation plant.
Boeken was able to walk away from the accident that pratically flattened her car.
“I think the back tire gave way, and I overcorrected,” said Boeken, 24, who was on her way to work at Independent Living in Humboldt.
Boeken’s car rolled more than 200 yards along the east side of Moonlight Hill, just east of Gates.
“I’m glad I had on my seatbelt,” Boeken said, with her only visible injury a cut on the big toe of her right foot, noticeable because of the flip-flops she was wearing.
“All I remember is seeing the sky,” she said. “I just said, ‘Oh my,’” to herself before the car came to a stop.
The car’s roof was smashed within a foot or less of the sides and ended up lying on its passenger side.
