This is the astonishing moment a car crashed into a road barrier and flew through the air - before landing squarely on the back of a truck.
The black Mercedes-Benz E200 lost control and skidded into the concrete barricade which launched it skywards while roadworks were being carried out in Nonthaburi, Thailand.
Miraculously, the vehicle rotated to face backwards before landing squarely on the back of a flatbed two truck - saving the lives of those inside.
The driver and passenger were both unhurt as the seemingly divine intervention of the landing had prevented the Merc from hitting the ground and rolling over multiple times.
A camera that was fitted to a parked truck that unwittingly prevented a road tragedy captured the crash just before midnight on December 21.
Officers from the Mueang Nonthaburi Police Station on the outskirts of Bangkok arrived at the scene to find the teenage driver and his girlfriend shaken but unharmed.
A police spokesman said: ‘There were no injuries, but there were damaged traffic signs and property. After the incident, the teenagers' parents arrived and took both of them away. They will pay for the damage.'
Authorities said the area had earlier been closed off for underground cable installation.
A construction worker Noi, 51, said he was fetching petrol for a generator when he heard the car screeching from afar.
He added: 'I saw the car lose control, crash into the generator, then fly onto the back of the truck. I was worried the driver was seriously injured so I immediately called an ambulance.'
The minimum age to drive a motor vehicle in Thailand is 18.
Despite being one of the wealthiest countries in Asia, Thailand suffers from chronic underinvestment in its road safety education and enforcement.
Thailand has one of the world's worst road safety records. Ministers have set the goal of reducing fatalities from 32.7 deaths per 100,000 people to 12 per 100,000 people by the year 2027.
