Fortunately the driver has tweeted that she is 'fine'. Testament to today's build quality.

I wonder what caused the car to lift off like that. She was probably very lucky the car was going backwards into that building.WOW.

ps. You're sig. is so apt in this case, it was what she arrived in that saved her.

Spinal injuries by all accounts mate but she's awake and talking. 17 FFS! Lucky girl indeed mate. Clipped some debris perhaps?
That was just like me yesterday, however I was able to take control 
Certainly came in on full chat that's for sure.
That happened very quickly the people around where she hit reacted very slowly so she must have been going some as they had no reaction time very lucky indeed!!
Most likely wheel to wheel contact. That is the most dangerous aspect of open wheel racing, a spinning rubber tyre touching another spinning rubber tyre has tremendous effect and often picks a car up and turns it over. Happened to Martin Brundle in the Aussie GP many years ago.

Could have been so much worse. Lucky all round.
Nah she was only going to 30 mph
I think it was brake failure.
I’ve seen it from another view. She actually went top side onto the scaffolding tower. And her head must have been between poles. If it was a solid building I think she would be dead. Very lucky.

That just gets worse the more you look at it! Took off like a bloody exocet. Imagine that 20 or so years ago, it would be a massive fireball with multiple deaths I'd say.
Holy f***, that is f***ing spectacular, I'm so pleased shes OK
Just read that five cars were involved in that ....
Worst one I've seen mate.
This was Brundle in Aus. 1996. circa 1.18 into video
