Sprint car driver Alan Zouette was lucky to walk away from a wild crash on Saturday night.

Zouette was competing in a sprint car race at Knoxville Raceway in Iowa when his No. 33 machine got together with the No. 77.

The result was that the No. 77 was sent tumbling on the track while the No. 33 was thrown over the fence and landed out on a public street.

While Zouette was able to walk away, police had to shut down the street to clean up the incident.
