While the speed of a race gives everyone an adrenaline rush, sometimes it can reach spectators at their doorstep. After all, while soaring at hundreds of miles per hour, accidents become quite commonplace. A 15-year-old clip shows a strange car crash. It captures how a slight misjudgment can lead to a massive mishap, putting vehicles in places where they simply do not belong.
Though races do provide a lot of entertainment, the risks are of the highest order. That’s part of the reason that professional drivers are very skillful and have proper guidance. Nonetheless, accidents can still happen during any given race, landing the driver in precarious situations.

The amateur photographer who shot the video also seemed absolutely stunned by it. He never expected to see anything like it, ever. The car, moving at a supersonic speed, lost its balance altogether and barreled into a house. Though it landed upside down after the dramatic crash, the driver, Jensen, was completely unharmed.
A lot of credit goes to Karl-Åge Jensen for walking out safely. In such cases, the impact is very hard on the body and can cause serious damage. But the Danish driver coolly remarked in a following interview that “there was no drama inside the car.”
Luckily, the driver walked out of the crash unharmed. The owner of the house also looks quite shocked after the incident. He tried to keep a calm face when he was asked about the same, remarking, “What happened? Well, all of a sudden there was a car in my bed!”
