Charlotte,NC :Pregnant North Carolina woman survives highway crash that split her car in half on Friday ,June 12th 2015

A pregnant North Carolina woman is lucky to be alive after she survived a horrific highway crash that split her car in half, authorities said.

Haley Smith, 20, of Lincolnton, walked away with minor cuts from the wreck Wednesday that police say may have been caused by her speeding over 100 miles per hour, the Lincoln Herald reported Friday.

The expectant mother's Honda Accord was almost cleanly torn in two, with one part resting on the northbound side of U.S. 321 in Gaston County — about 30 miles northwest of Charlotte, N.C. — and the other spiraling across the median on the southbound side.

"That's one of the worst wrecks that I've ever responded to," responding Lincolnton firefighter Mike Shrum told local reporters.

Smith's car flipped after she ran off the road and crossed the median, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol told the Lincoln Herald.

An SUV in the southbound lane plowed into her Honda, tearing it just behind the driver's seat.
