Within seconds, the out-of-control car had smashed into another car at an intersection at 190km/h.When the emergency services arrived, both the woman and her daughter were relatively unhurt, however the 11-year-old was taken to hospital as a precaution after complaining of a sore head.

When quizzed by police about what happened, the woman explained that she had wanted to test her faith and had slammed her foot down on the gas while telling "God to take the wheel."

While God's driving skills seemed to leave a lot to be desired, perhaps the incident did see some measure of divine intervention given that, miraculously, nobody in either car was seriously hurt.

The woman, who was not intoxicated at the time, has since been charged with felony assault, endangering a child and driving with a suspended license.
