A driver who ended up on the wrong side of Route 440 during rush hour Tuesday morning got her car wedged between two large dump trucks and had to be extricated from the vehicle, police said.

And incredibly, the 50-year-old Jersey City resident walked away from the mangled metal sandwich without a scratch.

According to the Jersey City police accident report, the two trucks were stopped side by side in the northbound lanes of Route 440 approaching Communipaw Avenue at 7:34 a.m. Tuesday.

The woman, driving a 2007 Toyota Yaris, told police she was also traveling north and tried to cross multiple lanes when her car got spun around and somehow ended up crushed between the two trucks. She was cited failure to exhibit documents and improper passing, the accident report said.

The woman's vehicle was pinned between the two trucks, one of them a Bayonne Durable Construction vehicle, and she had to be extricated by Jersey City firefighters.

The woman refused medical attention and the drivers of the two dump trucks, one from Elizabeth and the other from West New York, told police they were not injured in the accident.
