Alicia Szostak was driving on the highway after midnight one morning when she saw a deer run into the road. She turned her wheel to try and avoid the deer, but she turned her wheel too hard. She overcorrected and her car swerved, causing her to crash the vehicle into two trees.

From the inside of the car, Alicia could hear them discussing a plan on how to get her out. They were able to get the back door of the car open. One of them climbed into the back seat to help Alicia get unbuckled from her seat belt.
