One look at this kebabed mess of a car crash and you'd expect loss of life to be a certainty.
But amazingly the driver of this car was only slightly injured after his vehicle was skewered to bits.
The accident happened in Taizhou in China's Zhejiang province after the 24-year-old driver of the car collided with a tricycle fully loaded with steel bars.
The bars riddled the car, smashing all the windows but according to eyewitnesses the driver, named only as Yang, wasn't badly hurt.
This dramatic accident follows a series of disturbing cases in China where a young girl, Yue Yue, died after being run over twice and ignored by 18 people.
Earlier this week a child was seriously ill after being reversed over by a truck which had run him over moments earlier.
