Miraculously, the 49-year-old driver walked away with just a few broken bones, the outlet said.

Police said the driver suffered a diabetic episode and fainted behind the wheel, with his vehicle then barrelling out of control and soaring into the air and eventually into a utility pole near a local petrol station.

He was trapped inside the car and had to be plucked out by rescue workers and rushed to the hospital.

Cops fined the unidentified injured driver the equivalent of $365, and he faces a 90-day license suspension, the outlet reported.
