Holy crap! I can't believe the driver survived that. Usually its the impact that kills people - too many G's to withstand so all of your organs and intestines get punctured.

Reminds me of this one: Amazing crash: BMW 335i hits guard rail, no one gets hurt!
Which that driver also survived.

Driver got lucky. Just the right angle, just the right point of impact. Must have been really moving - not a typical crash.
