The 18-year-old driver made the mistake of turning into a column of British tanks...

I don't get it. The tanks travel over the road with their gun pointing backward, so it was traveling left to right.
I figured she pulled out from a street or driveway in the foreground.
But then it says...

The British soldier at the controls of the tank behind her had no time to stop...

If the tank was behind her then she had to be traveling in the same direction or stopped beside the road facing in the same direction.
So did she try to make a U-turn?
All I'm sure of is she's very stupid and very lucky.


edit... The Guardian says;

Her car, however, was left rather the worse for wear after the convoy’s lead tank was unable to stop in time and ploughed over the Toyota’s bonnet.

The car’s driver, 18, had apparently not seen the convoy when she made a left turn in front of it as the tanks travelled through the small town of Augustdorf, according to German police spokesman, Lars Risserbusch.
