VIDEO: Ouch! Lucky escape of the day...

A teenager in New York was sent flying head over heels when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver…

HOW DID HE survive that?

But survive it he did. Police in Buffalo in New York have released surveillance footage which features a car plowing into a young man, sending him flying through the air. Somehow he survives the impact, although he was treated in hospital for multiple injuries.

See for yourself…

Police arrested the 19-year-old driver in Thursday’s accident, Tornubari Gbaraba, within five minutes after witnesses described the vehicle to a 911 dispatcher. Gbaraba, an exchange student, was charged with assault, reckless driving and fleeing from a police officer.

“The purpose for showing this video footage is to dramatize how dangerous hit and run accidents are”, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said.
