An Audi R8 supercar smashed into a Land Rover killing the Audi driver.
The driver of an Audi R8 supercar was killed in a horrific crash along Jalan Pengaturcara U1/46 in Glenmarie yesterday evening, the New Straits Times reported.
The car crashed into a Land Rover, flipped on its side and pinned the driver inside.
The driver, a 46-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses claimed that the Audi was speeding just before the accident happened, the report said.
According to Selangor Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department chief Superintendent Kamaludin Mohamad, the impact of the crash flung both vehicles to the side of the road.
It was reported that it took firemen about 10 minutes to extricate the deceased from the wreckage. His body was sent to the Shah Alam Hospital for post-mortem.
The two occupants of the Land Rover were injured but it is not known to what extent.
Watching the footage, you would for a heart-stopping moment think the driver was crushed to death.
In southern China, a motorist miraculously survived after the arm of a huge construction crane fell onto a road and crushed the front of his Audi.
The incident happened on a stretch of highway near Zhuhai in Guangdong province on Oct 17, according to the Chinese video-sharing website Pearvideo.com.
Video footage shows the crane smashing onto the road, crushing the front of the white vehicle which was moving slowly away from a junction at the time.
After a heart-stopping pause, the video shows the driver pull himself out of the car, while other motorists come forward to help him.
The unnamed man fractured his right ankle in the accident and was taken to hospital for treatment, according to the report.
People commenting on Weibo, China’s equivalent of Twitter, were amazed by the man’s extremely close shave with death.
“If he had driven forward two metres, he’d be dead! The guy must be blessed,” one person posted.
The cause of the accident is yet to be determined.
