Hope this isn't one of the RL mob. Either way, the driver was a very lucky chap; strike one of nine lives for him. The 964 looks repairable but, can't see the off-side from the footage.

Ouch, get the impression the driver walked away though.
Raises an interesting point how strong / safe is the 964 in an accident? Suspect very compared to other cars from the early 90's and a bit scary compared to modern cars?

I have only personally experienced a crash in a 944 Turbo. Not sure how fast I was going, but ended up going into and out of a ditch, through a fence post and a hedge and ended up about 60' in a muddy farm field, facing the way I had come from. Every panel was bent, as was the frame, but I opened the door and walked away without a scratch. Bloody lucky? Yes! But I think Porsche build quality had a big part to play in it.
