Horrific images of woman's injuries after she was hit by car

A WOMAN says she feels lucky to be alive after she was reportedly hurled into the air by an alleged drink-driver.

Finley Taylor, 27, was walking her dog with her husband, Eddie, on Penybanc Road, near Ammanford on Sunday night when a car is said to have mounted the kerb, knocking her off her feet.

The incident took place near the couple's home at around 8.50pm on Sunday, May 30 near Penybanc Rugby Club.

Finley laid on the ground for two hours waiting for an ambulance to arrive and was assisted by local residents and her husband.

Talking to the Guardian Finley said: "I was in so much pain it felt unbearable. When I was lying on the floor I really thought I was going to die, so did my husband."
