    Wow. Subtitles suggest he was sober but asleep at the wheel. If true, that's one rude awakening. But if Slovakia is anything like the US, I'd be inclined to check his mobile bill for texting at the time of the...take-off?

    Cheers, John

    Saw that too and god damn that was a perfect ramp. I mean he launched that perfectly! It wasn’t till the bridge that he flipped.

    This one happened about two miles from my house. The driver was released from the hospital five days after the accident.

    Looks like the BMW did a little better surviving the impact. The quote next to video:

    "A BMW lifted off the ground before crashing in eastern Slovakia. Despite the dramatic crash, the 44-year-old driver suffered only bruises."

    I would bet at least one of the doors still opened!! Imagine the surprise to wake up in the air that high!?
