It's the sort of thing you see and think to yourself, "How did someone survive that?"

Police in Bryan say 51-year-old Ginger Pivonka was headed east on Martin Luther King Jr. Street in Bryan Tuesday, April 2 when she crashed into the guardrail of a bridge, causing her pickup truck to split in half.

Check out the picture above and tell me it doesn't look as if a giant picked that truck up and broke it over his knee. Yikes!

Police say Pivonka was taken to a local hospital to be checked out, as emergency responders feared she may have internal injuries. Judging by the look of the crash scene, I can understand why they were concerned.

Fortunately, any injuries Pivonka suffered weren't severe enough to warrant her being admitted, and she was released.

Unfortunately, she was arrested a short time later.

Brazos County Jail records indicate she was booked Tuesday and charged with driving while intoxicated and possession of a controlled substance, less than 28 grams. Her bonds totaled $6,000, and records indicate she was released Wednesday, April 3.
