A woman was badly injured after escaping from her flipped car only to be hit by a passing vehicle in Sabre Springs early Sunday morning.

At approximately 4:45 a.m. the woman was driving east in the 11200 block of Poway Road when she lost control of her car, crossed the median, and flipped the sedan, according to San Diego Police Officer Dino Delimitros.

The victim managed to crawl out of the wreck and started walking across the street, when she was hit by a passing car in the westbound lanes.

The woman was rushed to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla with major injuries. The driver of the other car, who called 911 to report the accident, cooperated with police.
