There wasn't a great deal she could do as the road beneath her quickly raised up to a 45 degree angle. Onlookers could only er, look on as they witnessed the sight on Wisconsin's Maple-Oregon Bridge.
Once the bridge lowered, the woman managed to successfully start her car and drove off. No one knows who she is, the police would like to talk to her though as they want to understand what happened.

Good brakes, but how about the traction of those tires? I have heard of parking tractors, cares, trucks on "starter hill" before electric starters, but this is the extreme

umm.. ok, my immediate thought was that the car had some amazing brakes, but then i thought, why didn't she put it in neutral when the bridge was just beginning to rise? She would have just rolled safely off the bridge or at least closer to the bottom of it. I'm not going to sit here and be a hard ass just because she didn't think of her options. In the end she did pull off a quite a feat.

Whoa! That would cure constipation! Thank God she's ok. So many other scenarios come to mind. Hope she gets a copy of this pix.

A cure, I'd think that would draw up the pucker string so tight, one couldn't take a dump for a month.

I bet the car manufacturers are also searching for her as she's a great advert for their hand brake!
