This terrifying video shows the shocking moment a man filmed as his car goes off a cliff and he miraculously survived.

A man has luckily survived a fatal crash after he drove over a cliff. The shocking and terrifying incident was filmed by James Shaw Jr last year. but only recently released the footage from inside his 2004 Subaru Forester XT on the Angeles Crest Highway, California.

As he goes over the edge his voice sounds (understandably) panicked but manages not to swear – he simply says ‘Oh, oh no’, before the camera cuts out.

But he survived, thankfully, and managed to get a couple of pictures

Reflecting on what happened, he wrote a note to say that he’d been given ‘a second chance at life’. He wrote: "Before that moment, I had never before experienced my life flash before my eyes. Before that moment, I had never before watched myself, as if from the 3rd person, trapped inside my car as it fell and crashed violently down the mountainside. Before that moment, I had never before been on that fine line between life and death, and survived against the odds.

"Alive—rare in itself—AND unhurt, I was the luckiest person any of the veteran emergency personnel had seen in years, and the newbies, ever. 5 people, one of which was Lou Ferrigno, told me to go play the lottery, but I think my luck was already used."

If you haven't seen it already, here is the video of my accident in my laster Forester in January 2015 that I uploaded to YouTube. (TurboFoz) How would you have reacted if you were in my shoes? Posted on IG by: @best_carvideos

Explaining how he felt as he hit a mound at the top of the cliff, he added: ‘I went over the edge. It happened so fast all I can remember is everything crashing and spinning. I thought I was rolling over down the side of the mountain. I was confident I was going to land upside down and get crushed.

‘I was on the world’s worst roller coaster that could only end with death, or so I thought. I came to a stop, still yelling, not fully comprehending what just happened, or how far down the mountain I was and that I actually just crashed my car.

‘Luckily for me, I landed on a rock wall that was part of a drainage pipe that went through the mountain. It was the only horizontally level piece on an extremely steep sloped hill. Had I spun off a few feet before or after, I’d be dead.’
