Prayers to this lady. Kudos to the Mesquite Fire Department….great effort!!!
Since it was on the boulevard, there must have been a lot of excessive speed, if not alcohol, to roll multiple times like that.
Oh Dear! :'( I hope it isn’t any of my friends from mesquite. Hope the dear lady will pull through.
Oh no, poor lady! Hope she’ll be ok 🙁
