A speeding Mercedes was launched into the air and flew over two cars at a roundabout after the driver reportedly suffered a diabetic attack.
The driver’s speed and the elevated structure of the roundabout, which acted as a ramp, caused the car to be propelled upwards.
CCTV footage showed the luxury car flying over the roundabout and clearing two vehicles before apparently landing in a courtyard.

The 55-year-old Mercedes driver survived the crash.
The unnamed man was trapped in the car, requiring rescuers to intervene.
He was reportedly hospitalised with multiple fractures.
His vehicle ended up in the courtyard of a nearby petrol station, as reported by Need To Know.
The physics-defying accident took place in the city of Oradea in Romania last Wednesday (3 Dec).
The authorities said the driver suffered a diabetic crisis while behind the wheel and careered into the roundabout at high speed.
Despite the medical emergency, the motorist was reportedly fined £275 (RON 1,600) and was suspended from driving for 90 days.
One local said: “Lucky it wasn’t a few seconds earlier otherwise he would have beheaded a few innocent passengers on the bus.”
“There’s no excuse, if you’re sick you shouldn’t get behind the wheel, end of story,” added Victor.
Cristi joked: “It’s Santa avoiding traffic to arrive on time.”
