Was he the only one in the car? Doesn't look like anyone else would have survived.

If the crash had happened a few feet further towards the front of the car, he wouldn't have "walked" anywhere...

It was pure luck. As others said if it was the other sided of the car it would be a bloody mess everwhere.

I think that anyone would have walked away in a crash like that if they were in a car that weighed 3 tons.

This just goes to show that luck, not airbags/seatbelts, is the most important safety device....

That guy was lucky, but stupid.

Any time you speed and ignore the safe handling aspects of the car, you're taking your own life (and those of others) into your own (incapable) hands.

If this were America, he would have been handcuffed for reckless driving.
