This severe accident took place in South Korea last week when the driver of the aforementioned black Kia Optima seemingly dozed off with his vehicle veering to the right and hitting the concrete barrier that sent it across the other way before smashing into a silver sedan.
As a result of the high speed contact, both cars rolled over. Amazingly, the author of the video stated that, despite the severity of the accident, no one was seriously injured.
Take a look at the incident for yourself in the video below.
Then again, since we are talking about television, perhaps this is the best thing that could have happened (ratings-wise, of course, of course) to presenters Jason Andrews and Simon Anderson, and to a lesser extent, Al the cameraman.
When the first Toyota truck got itself into a muddy and sticky situation, it wasn't that bad, but things took a turn for the worse when the tide starting coming in, and even more so, when the other Toyota that was doing the pulling…turned over. Watch the NSFW video below.
We had to watch this unbelievable incident twice to make sure what we we're looking at is real. What's more surreal, is the purported conversation between the group of men in the vehicle, which according to Carscoops tipster Robert, went something along the lines of this:
"Oh, we float! Where do we go? I don't know, may be to the shore. Don't steer the wheel, it's useless!" – you don't say Sherlock…
The location of the incident is not mentioned, but if it's not mother Russia, it could be one of the surrounding countries – if you know, do share in the comments.
Shout out to Robert M. for the tip!
Red Bull’s marketing machine didn’t let than event slip unnoticed and decided to show its disapproval by staging a memorable event.
The energy-drink giant took one of its Formula 1 cars and driver David Coulthard to Dubai in order to celebrate winning the 2013 Formula One Drivers’ and Constructors’ championships.
The car was lifted on Burj Al Arab’s helipad, located on the top of the seven star hotel at 210 meters (689 ft) above the sea. David Coulthard’s job was a typical Red Bull adventure: to do some donuts with the 750hp F1 car on the 24-meter wide helipad. You can check out the amazing footage after the break.

Now, from the land of the Praga R1, Slovakia, we bring you the “Aeromobil,” which promises to be one of the most practical car/plane combos we’ve seen.
The work of designer Stefan Klein, it has been in development for twenty years, and the current fully-functioning version is 2.5, though we did see a few sketches for 3.0 on his official site. It works on much the same principle as other similar vehicles, but it has been built with real-world feasibility in mind, so it does just that.
As you’ll see in the presentation video posted below, you can drive it out of your regular parking spot, with its wings folded, speed to the airport via the motorway, then find the nearest runway, extend the wings to their full 8.2 meter (27 ft) span, then drop the flaps for extra takeoff lift and you’re ready to go.
Its weight is kept under 500 kg (~1,000 lbs) empty, but do factor in the added mass of two adults plus fuel to get an accurate idea of what it weighs ready to go. The Rotax aeroengine that powers it puts out 100 hp, and it drives either the front wheels or the rear-mounted propeller – this can be easily changed via pressing a button inside.

In this instance, Russians are questioning the actions of these road workers who appear to be randomly (unless they're using some high-tech gadgets and systems other than their shovels to locate and hastily fill specific potholes) laying asphalt in the puddles.
If anyone knows what the guy behind the camera is saying, please do tell in the comments after you watch the following video.
Unfortunately, that scene played out a few times late Wednesday night and in the early morning hours of Thursday in Boston after the Red Sox won the World Series, when some rowdy fans, or shall we call them hooligans, crossed the line and started attacking cars.
We showed you a video of Boston cops saving one car from a flipping fate, but another one, a black Toyota Corolla, was not so fortunate. Now, Massachusetts State Police (MSP) have released photos from the act on social media channels with the hope that viewers can identify the vandals responsible for flipping over the compact sedan on Boylston St.
Here's the statement from MSP:
"The Massachusetts State Police are seeking assistance from the public in identifying those responsible for vandalizing a car on Boylston Street early Thursday morning following the Red Sox victory. Anyone with information about who was responsible, or anyone with photos or videos of the incident is asked to contact Trooper Brian Simpkins of the State Police Boston Barracks at (617) 727-6780."
The owner of the car, Chad Duncan, told the Boston Globe that he initially thought his Corolla had been towed, but soon realized what really happened. Duncan, who had leased the car last year, said it was totaled. "The whole top and side is crunched," he said adding that according to his estimates, he lost around $2,500, including $1,000 for his insurance deductible and $1,500 in new lease fees.
A video recording from the incident surfaced on YouTube. Before you watch it, we should warn you that the person filming it freaked out in the end…
Shout out to Maria for the submission!
The clip that brought Mr. Rybakin on our Offbeat News radar is a collection of dash-cam videos in which the young Muscovite is filmed breaking more traffic laws than we can count – he even tried to troll a police car…
You can see the video along with a few more that we found on the net, and if you happen to be aware of other noteworthy clips featuring Rybakin, just add them below in the comments box.
Uzilov took off after the accident and tried to evade police cars that were on her tail reaching speeds of more than 80mph (over 130km/h) in her white Dodge Durango SUV.
"She was traveling at speeds in excess of 80 miles an hour when she veered over the double yellow line into oncoming traffic," Keego Harbor police officer Jim Cote told ClickonDetroit.
The woman then crashed into a patrol car before pulling over. Amazingly, that wasn't the end of the scene as she hopped out of the SUV and headed towards the police officers attacking them before they could subdue and handcuff her. Police said that drugs and alcohol did not appear to fuel her behavior, but they did tell WXYZ news that the woman had been in a fight with her husband for unknown reasons earlier in the day. Her two children were not hurt in the chase.
