“It’s been exactly one month today since I was run over by a car,” she admitted Victoria Mertová a few hours ago on her Instagram, where she described the whole terrifying experience in detail.
“I was walking on the crosswalk and was hit by a drunk driver. He ran one round over my thighs and arm. I remained unconscious, wedged under the car, only my head and part of my chest were visible. Passers-by lifted the car and got me out.” she confided. Although the situation looked absolutely dire, Mertová surprised her with positive news: “And now the interesting thing – by some miracle nothing serious happened to me.”
But there were consequences
“Well, it’s not that it doesn’t have consequences, I was badly bruised, I’m treating it and it still hurts. It’s a ho*er. But it’s so unbelievable it’s actually funny. Like having a tire pattern printed on your ass. Or telling people that I’m a bit over the top and watching their horrified reactions. And I will remember the name Claw for all future quizzes with absolute certainty.” wrote Mertová with a hint of humor, with which she tries to lighten the situation at least a little. She didn’t forget to mention the character from the movie either Village, my center, who also experienced something similar and survived.

Although Mertová tries to look at the situation with perspective, she admitted that the past period was very difficult for her. In addition to the ongoing pain, she also had to deal with complicated negotiations with insurance companies and the police. It was these circumstances that finally made her write everything down and share her story with people. She also added a series of photos to her shocking story, in which she showed the consequences of the accident on her body.
Life saving
“I am extremely grateful to those passers-by who did not just watch passively and immediately did something really incredible from my point of view, which may have saved me or at least made my recovery much easier,” Mertová, who is still going through the recovery process, thanked her rescuers. She is also grateful to the paramedics and doctors from the University Hospital in Královské Vinohrady.
Finally, the daughter Zora Jandova (66) a Zdenek Merty (73) added an important observation. She herself is aware that not everyone is as “lucky” as she is, so she appealed to everyone, especially drivers, to be careful on the roads and under no circumstances get behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol.

Can you elaborate on the role of medical professionals in your recovery process, and what advice would you give to other accident survivors regarding the importance of seeking both physical and emotional support?
Sure, as the website editor for world-today-news.com, I can set up an interview with two guests regarding the article you shared. I recommend involving Victoria Mertová and a representative from the University Hospital in Královské Vinohrady, who treated her. Here are some open-ended questions to get started:
1. Victoria, how are you feeling after going through such a traumatic experience? Can you share your current state of health and the recovery process you’re going through?
2. What do you think made you decide to share your story on social media, and how do you think it has helped you cope with the situation?
3. The article mentions that passing bystanders helped lift the car and save your life – can you talk about their role in your survival and how their quick actions affected you emotionally?
4. Zora and Zdenek, as parents of Victoria, how did you react to this situation and what inspired you to share a message about road safety in your social media post?
5. From a medical perspective, how common are accidents like this, and what kind of injuries typically result from being ‘run over’ by a car?
6. In your experience, how do you think society can improve road safety, especially regarding the issue of drunk driving? Are there any initiatives or policies that could be more effective at preventing these types of accidents?
With these thematic sections and questions, we can create an informative and engaging interview on our website, sharing the experiences of Victoria Mertová and those involved while also focusing on important discussions around road safety and the impact of drunk driving.
