Woman lifts 20 times body weight
Advertisements [?]

A young woman summoned up the strength to lift a car more than 20 times her body weight to free a trapped friend, despite being injured herself.

Kyla Smith, from Sunderland, was driving her MG ZR hatchback near Washington when it left the road and hit a tree.

Passenger Jonathon Connor's leg was stuck under the car as it rolled over.

So the 23-year-old lifted the car to allow him to escape, unaware that she had injured her back in the crash.
