The South African football player Rooi Mahamutsa was extremely lucky to walk away from this horrific looking crash…

While out driving earlier this month the Orlando Pirates and South African international defender, Rooi Mahamutsa, slipped on a wet patch of road and crashed his BMW 3-Series into a guardrail, impaling the car from one end to the other.

While the pictures look pretty gruesome Mahamutsa, surprisingly, survived without a scratch.

The incident occurred near Marlboro, Johannesburg, during the first week of March, and while the incredible pictures are only going viral now, Mahamutsa (below) is going to remain one very lucky man for a long, long time to come.
