A driver had a miracle escape when they lost control of their sports car and ploughed into a LAMPPOST.

Shocking images show how the Toyota MR2 was almost ripped in half by the impact of the collision at around 5pm on Sunday (17/9).

Incredibly, the motorist managed to walk from the mangled wreckage with just minor injuries following the horror smash near Alvaston, Derbs.

Derbyshire Police said the driver crashed the flash motor after hitting standing water on the A50 following heavy rain.

Police say a driver was “lucky to escape with minor injuries” after a car hit standing water and careered into a lamppost. 

The force’s Road Police Unit tweeted: “A50 J2 to J3. Lucky to escape with minor injuries after hitting standing water then a Lamp Post. Drive to the conditions. #DriveToArrive”.

Web users took to social media to express their shock as to how the driver managed to walk away from the crumpled vehicle with his life.

Maria McCoy tweeted: “Should have got the lottery numbers of that lucky guy!”

Dan Edwards wrote: “If somebody has walked away from that uninjured, they must be superhuman. Unbelievably lucky.”
