This driver and his passenger were lucky to be alive after a frightening crash in a Porsche Cayman back in June.

In a video uploaded by achikato on YouTube, the rear-wheel drive sports car emerges into the picture veering sideways while travelling down a wet highway in Novosibirsk, Russia.

The Porsche then slides into the grass and up an embankment, at which point it rolls over twice before coming to a rest upside-down.

The car was leaking fuel afterward but no major fire broke out, although judging by photos at vk.com fire extinguishers were used at the scene. Both the driver and his passenger were wearing their seatbelts and, although they were seriously injured, both were able to survive.
