Speeding car hits roundabout, launches through the air and crash lands in a graveyard

This is the jaw-dropping moment a hatchback careers into a roundabout at full speed before taking off and landing in a graveyard.

The speeding car Suzuki Swift soared over the traffic island before crashing to the ground and bursting into flames in Rabien, Lodz, Poland.

Amazingly the 41-year-old driver escaped death in the horror smash and was still conscious when he was cut from the wreckage by firefighters before being taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Cops at the scene reported his breath smelled of booze and they are awaiting the results of a blood test to see whether he was over the limit, reports Polish media.

Shocking footage of the crash which happened on Easter Sunday showed the car tearing along an empty road before smashing into the raised edge of the roundabout.

The ‘ramp’ catapults the out-of-control silver car through the air and it then completely clears the traffic island.

A photograph of what was left of the mangled car was later posted on Facebook by emergency service crews.

Those who watched the video online were left shocked by what they had seen, reports the Mail Online.
