A Scottish woman says she’ll buy Hovis brand bread exclusively after surviving a car crash courtesy of a “medium-sliced white loaf” that cushioned her head during the accident.
Liz Douglas of Stronachlachar, Scotland says she attempted to avoid a telephone pole, then flipped her car.

Saved by the bread!
“The loaf had been thrown from the back seat of the car and landed on the roof of the car inside the vehicle in time to cushion my head during its contact with the roof of the vehicle,” Douglas told the Stirling Observer. “I was trapped inside the car for almost an hour in total between having the accident and while emergency services cut me from the car.
During this time, the loaf remained as a cushion and support for my head as I was upside down.” Douglas says she has preserved the life-saving loaf “complete with the impression of my head still in it.”
