A terrifying crash on a motorway saw a passenger narrowly escape being impaled by a traffic barrier, which plunged into the side of a car, and missed him by inches.
Dashcam footage taken from an SUV driving behind a Sedan, takes a dramatic turn when the recklass Sedan swerved off the motorway in Nanjing, capital of East China’s Jiangsu Province, and tried to join a slip road last minute.
In what turned out to be a near-fatal move, the white Sedan veered right after forgetting to switch lane, colliding with the SUV and slamming into the motorway barrier.
The video shows the SUV hit the sedan,causing the smaller vehicle to skid into the crash barrier, which skewers the back door and comes out the other side of the car.

Both cars stopped on the slip road, with drivers and passengers leaving their vehicles to check on the lone passenger in the back seat of the sedan.
Miraculously, he was found unharmed, with the crash barrier passing right in front of him as his back was pressed against the seat by the centrifugal force.
Nanjing City police took the injured passengers to hospital and towed the vehicles later that day, with traffic having already returned to normal.
The authorities investigating the incident said the sedan driver would be charged with dangerous driving.
