Driver poleaxes palm tree after car races across road and smashes straight into it in Brazil

This is the moment that a palm tree is uprooted after a driver lost control of her car and smashed into it.

Footage from Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, shows the car of a 40-year-old woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, ploughing straight into a palm tree and ripping it from the ground on October 20.

Military Police reported that the woman lost control of the vehicle which veered across both lanes, mounted the central reservation, and crashed into the palm tree.

The car finally came to a stop after crossing the opposite lane and getting on the sidewalk.

The woman was immediately attended to by the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU). She reportedly had no memory of the accident.
