A driver is extremely lucky to be alive after running into a guardrail off I-384 in Connecticut the day after Christmas.
Not only did the driver survive the accident, but they somehow escaped major injury as well.
The Manchester Fire Rescue EMS termed the incident “miraculous,” and it’s hard to disagree.
You can view photos of the scene below, courtesy of a Facebook post from the Manchester Fire Rescue EMS. It’s one you might have to see to believe:
“Shift 1 operated on Interstate 384 this afternoon at this single-vehicle accident which caused the guardrail to separate and then impaled the vehicle,” the post reads.
“The steel guardrail traveled through the passenger compartment, between both front seats and then exited the rear, extending approximately 20 ft beyond it. Miraculously, the occupant suffered only minor injuries and [was] transported to a local hospital with fire department paramedics.”
That’s right. The rail traveled through nearly the entire car and then stuck out 20 feet past it.
It might be more fair to say that the car traveled through the rail. It’s hard to guess how fast the car had to be going to make that happen.
