Near fatal speed boat accident

A man in Switzerland miraculously survived a 100-meter fall into a ravine in his pickup truck, the Le Matin paper said on Tuesday.

The man, whose name has not been disclosed, was driving through the high-mountain Fluela Pass when he lost control of his vehicle on an icy road. The truck rolled over the edge of a cliff.

The driver not only survived the fall, but walked away from the twisted wreckage of his vehicle.
