Crash barrier puts car at risk: occupants are extremely lucky

Date:

It’s almost unbelievable when you see the footage: two American citizens survived a terrible accident in which their car was completely pierced by a steel guardrail on St. Stephen’s Day and suffered only minor injuries. A real Christmas miracle…

The duo miraculously escaped serious injury in the accident near the small town of Manchester, Connecticut. Video released by Manchester Fire Rescue shows the guardrail literally impaling the car on Interstate 384.

“The steel guardrail entered the front right of the vehicle, went all the way through the passenger compartment between the two occupied seats, exited the rear left and protruded about six meters from the vehicle,” the firefighters said.

Miraculously, the two occupants sustained only minor injuries and were taken to a local hospital by paramedics, they said. Authorities said they were investigating how the horrific accident could have happened.
