This Guy Was Able To Escape Death Thanks To The Most Convenient Windscreen Smash Ever
With his car being dragged along while trying to cross a flooded road, things weren’t looking too rosy for this guy near Lima, Peru. However, his car was ‘caught’ by some rocks, smashing the windscreen and providing a convenient and very well-timed escape route.
He doesn’t appear too fazed about his ordeal however, as he’s seen taking the time to unplug his phone before casually exiting the stricken vehicle…
Thanks to the El Nino weather pattern, Peru has recently been hit with some of the most devastating floods it’s seen in decades. Over 70 people have died thus far, and this particular gentleman is incredibly fortunate to escape becoming an addition to the toll.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

That poor automobile…I hope they get that guy for car abuse.
How do you want to blame him? You can’t blame him on the El Niño
Blame the weather not the driver who’s in a dangerous situation you fool😡
The car didn’t seem to be in danger to sink, tho
Exactly my thoughts. I don’t know the whole situation, but saying he escaped death seems too much.
The record for the least durable windshield has been…shattered.
That’s a world breaking record
Just like a heroic door kick… instead of wood flying everywhere, it’s now glass :o
At the intersection where “bad weather” meets “stupid”, we’ll be there
That’s just me when someone mentions Miley Cyrus, no big deal….

We inturpt this program to bring you the fate of the furious
This driver was seriously imprudent. The current was extremely strong, even a lifted Land Cruiser or a heavy machinery could have failed to cross as well.
The water collides with the vehicle, causing it to push trough the whole side of it, pushing the car off the road, the combination of speed, lightness and water forcing its way under the chassis caused the car to lifts its 4 contact points with the ground, the wheels.
What he did was seriously stupid. Do NOT attempt yourself.
I believe this is a car from a Chinese manufacturer, so I doubt its quality. Windshields should NOT shatter, they break as a complete piece thanks to a plastic coating in between glass lamines. Shattering windshields have been forbidden for decades…
why would anyone try to drive through that river though
My thoughts exactly.
Lucky guy
