Michelle Childers and her husband were driving through a forest in Idaho when a tree limb crashed through the passenger side window and into her neck.
Ms Childers described the incident as a “green explosion”.
“I asked (my husband) ‘what where is it?’ ”
“It’s in your neck,” her husband answered.
Ms Childers said all she could feel was a “strange pressure” on her neck and shoulder.
The couple drove for another hour before meeting with help in the form of an air ambulance at a lodge near the Idaho/Montana border.
It took six hours for surgeons to remove the branch from her neck.
Ms Childers said she felt mixed emotions when looking at spectacular pictures of the accident.
“Some days I can look at the pictures and say, ‘Oh man! That’s awesome!’ and other times I will look at the pictures and they will make me cry,”
