A pickup truck landed on top of a car after the truck was hit by some other vehicle and went flying through the air in Arizona, according to authorities.

When firefighters rushed to the scene, they were prepared for the worst.

A white pickup was seated on top of a red sedan after what looked like a fatal accident with a black car.

But unusually, no one was injured in the freak accident, according to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.

Firefighters in Prescott say it was amazing that the two people in the car and the woman driving the pickup were not hurt after the crash Sunday night.

Authorities say and that is because everyone was wearing seat belts, authorities say.

Prescott Fire Department spokesman E. Conrad Jackson said Monday that the pickup truck driver was hit by a truck that came alongside her vehicle.

The impact sent the pickup soaring and it landed on the car.

Jackson says the truck driver who caused the crash fled.

The occupants of the car and the pickup truck were wearing seatbelts.

The woman who was driving the white pickup told local officials she was northbound on Williamson Valley Road when a black truck traveling in the same direction in the lane next to her made contact, causing her to lose control.

She went into moving traffic on the southbound lanes and hit a black car, she told officials. This contact caused her truck to flip through the air and land on top of the red sedan.

All the occupants in the vehicles embroiled - two people in the red sedan, plus one each in the black car and white truck - were unhurt.

Yavapai County Sheriff's Office said in a press release. "This is the second accident this week where the use of seat belts has helped avert a tragedy and firefighters would once again like to remind everyone that the use of this simple device saves lives daily."
