GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) -
A Gainesville woman whose head was run over by a truck while she sunbathed in her yard is a TV personality who appeared with her twin sister on two reality TV shows, including "Jersey Shore."
Brittany Taltos, 23, was run over Sunday afternoon as she lay in her front yard.
"It was a really nice day out, and I just got home from work, so I decided to lay out," Taltos told Fox 35's Tom Johnson.
"I was dozing in and out, and then I feel a tire on my face. And my first thought was, 'OK. I'm going to die.' "
A roommate's friend, Taylor Greer, who had come by to return a grill, had backed his truck over her head.
"It rolled up, and for a split second, I kind of accepted the fact that I was going to be run over," Taltos told Johnson.
Greer heard her screams, stopped and pulled out Taltos.
"All I knew was that there was blood coming out of both my ears and I was freaking out," she said.
Taltos received 10 stitches in her ear and some bruising.
"The past two days I would just randomly cry. Not because I'm sad, but because I'm here. I thought I was going to die."
Taltos has appeared with her twin sister, Erica, on season four of MTV's "Jersey Shore" and ABC's "Bachelor Pad."
