A driver somehow walked free uninjured after losing control of his sports car and careering into a lamppost recently.
The Toyota MR2 was almost torn in half by the impact of the smash on Sunday at around 5pm.
But the motorist scrambled free and paramedics were shocked to find he had no severe injuries and did not need to go to hospital.
Police said the motorist hit standing water on the A50 near Alvaston, Derbyshire, after heavy rain hit the area.
‘We got a call at around 5pm to alert us to a collision involving a Toyota MR2,’ said a spokesman for Derbyshire Police.
‘The driver was stood out of the vehicle when police arrived complaining of minor injuries, mainly pain to his back and ribs and he had got some cuts and bruises.’
An East Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: ‘We were called to tend to one patient. However they had no injuries, so they were discharged at the scene.’
Firefighters dealt with the collision for around two hours.
Social media users were staggered to find the driver escaped the crash without injury.
Maria McCoy tweeted: ‘Should have got the lottery numbers off that lucky guy!’
Dan Edwards wrote: ‘If somebody has walked away from that uninjured, they must be superhuman. Unbelievably lucky.’
Lee Edwards tweeted: ‘You mean someone actually walked away from that?? I’d do the lottery if that was me!’
