Video: Drivers lucky to survive horrific rally crash in a vintage Porsche

Homelife

The driver and co-driver of this Porsche 964 RS were lucky to walk away from what can only be described as one fairly spectacular crash.

During the weekend’s Hellendoorn Rally in the Netherlands, the driver of this Porsche 964 RS misjudged a tight corner and locked up the brakes sending him flying into a concrete barrier. After hitting the barrier and losing two wheels the car then flips into a canal landing on its roof, but not before grinding along the barrier like something you'd see in a Tony Hawk video game (or GTA V). Thankfully both the driver and the co-driver escaped from the wreckage without any serious injury. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hStcyDj830Q Here’s a look at the car after a tow truck fished it out… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3-g31IEBD8
