An Australian man driving on a coastal road outside Sydney hit a guardrail and plunged off a cliff, Monday. Amazingly, he survived, and in fact avoided any serious injury.

The car plunged 30 meters down the cliff and landed upside-down, precariously close to the water.

A rescue team found the survivor climbing up the cliff, and rushed him to a nearby hospital by helicopter.

“The car fell off from a very high cliff. It is a miracle that the driver survived,” said an eyewitness.
