Shaken Day-Lewis, 57, had to kick open the driver's door and scramble out of the vehicle after the crash. She was left with a bruised back but was otherwise uninjured.
Day-Lewis, a chef on The Good Food Network, says, "I could have died. The passenger side was completely crushed... I was only doing 30 miles per hour on a straight stretch of road and tried to steer away from another car coming towards me. I swerved and swung it back up the verge, up the bank and it flipped - I thought 'this is it'."
