[skip_1]

Probably been posted on here before, but if it has I can't find it so presumably there are others who haven't seen this:

How.The.fk did he survive that?

Very lucky bloke!

Somehow he managed to drift his car so that the point of impact was the rear quarter ... car looks pretty compressed but he was quite a long way forward of the main pressure point. Still not nice.

Didnt even have a seatbelt on

fking hell!!

I think that's a fatal crash. If you pause the video as the car is overtaking, there are 2 people in the front. The roof on the drivers side (left side) is smashed down, the lad that gets out is the front seat passenger. I suspect the drivers body is crushed.

Unfortunately I think you could be right

Yeah, you can see the lhd steering wheel poking out between the bonnet and windscreen aperture when it comes to a halt.

Driver died in that saw it earlier in the week and was going to post it until I read the comments where the ll's worked out it was a fatal.

[budgie smuggler]

Not fatal according to this

"Looking at the pile of stuff is hard to believe that someone in the car survived, but it is."

Never used Google translate, but some amusing language!

Was nice of the lorry driver (camera vehicle) to close the gap on him....

Yes. Totally the lorry drivers fault.

(He must have had one of those super-accelerative lorries that can close gaps at a moments notice.)

[Gixer]

The driver was a cock, no question but so was the camera vehicle. Why was he sitting out there, when looking at traffic in the oncoming direction people make it 2 lanes and yes he did try and close the gap the video dosent lie does it.

Perhaps he was empty, perhaps he didn't even have a trailer.

What is it with PH these day? Some people must have really stty lives if all they have to do all day is pick arguments on here...

Thats incredible how on earth did he walk away

The cam vehicle stayed at constant speed, the coach on the right slowed down. Miracle accident though, used up all your luck for this year!
