Just saw this in a danish newspaper, how they escaped without any major injury is beyong my understanding! 
2 people in the car, age 19 and 21, driving too fast on the dual carrigeway, realise they are about to miss their exit and swirve across, only to loose control of the car, hitting a ditch, flying about 50 meters, landing and rolling the car and pretty much walk away without any serious injury.. lucky or what!
And no, i don't think it'll t-cut out, i know it's gonna be mentioned lol!

Wow, how lucky are they to be alive! My friend almost missed his exit once and did the same thing. Swerved and jumped a good distance over a verge. To this day I still don't know how he didn't crash!

Can't see how anyone could have "walked" away from that
Crawled away on hands & knees maybe.

Saw a 206 on it's roof on M4 a couple years back. Looks like they put a wheel in the centre section (gravel) and flipped. Skidded along tarmac for some distance judging by the scrape marks on the tarmac.
Caused a two and half hour delay between Junc 8/9 and 10 ... for me anyway. Any it was a hot day and the a/c wasn't working. Instead of being at a client, had meeting on hands-free. So I basically crawled up that section of motorway only to turn around and go home again! 
Still gives me a bit of confidence in the fact we have a 1.4 HDi for my 17 y o son when he passes and daughter has a 206CC.
