Sheridan was taken to her house by a friend whilst emergency services arrived.

One of her neighbours said: “Sheridan is so lucky to be alive.

"It could have been so much worse, she had cuts and bruises, but it could have been fatal, she was incredibly lucky.

"It was a brand new Range Rover, she hasn’t had it long.

"It’s almost a miracle she’s not hurt herself more.”
