High-Flying Car Crash
See Mercedes-Benz Catapult Over Traffic On Video
Published
Terrifying video shows a Mercedes-Benz propelling over traffic in Romania before crashing into a pole — and the driver somehow walked away with just a few broken bones.
The CCTV footage captured a portion of the car wreck last Wednesday in Oradea, a city in northwest Romania, and the dramatic video is now making the rounds in the international media.
As you can see … everything seems normal at first as a bus and several cars drive toward a roundabout. Suddenly, the Mercedes launches through the air over the vehicles, nearly clipping the roof of the bus before reportedly crashing into a utility pole near a gas station.
Police told The Independent … the Benz driver fell unconscious during a medical episode triggered by his diabetes.
The news outlet said rescue workers had to free the 49-year-old man from his wrecked vehicle before rushing him to a hospital, where he was treated for several broken bones, yet he managed to avoid life-threatening injuries.
Cops reportedly suspended his license for 90 days and issued him a $365 fine.
