A woman’s iPhone saved her life after it blocked a bullet headed straight for her at the Las Vegas massacre on Sunday night, KLAS reported.

The unnamed woman reportedly showed her cab driver her damaged phone after the attack, which saw 59 people killed and 527 injured.  

The cab driver told KLAS the woman showed him the iPhone when he picked her up from the scene that night. The pricey rose gold handset is completely shattered at the bottom but otherwise seems pretty much intact.

The gunman – identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock – fired at concertgoers from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

He later killed himself as authorities approached his hotel room.

The massacre is the worst mass shooting in US history.
