One of the worst things that can happen to a driver travelling on a highway is for one or more cars to suddenly slow down in front, as not all motorists keep a safe distance from each other nor do they always pay attention to what’s going on ahead of them.

In this occasion, a group of vehicles slowed down on a highway located close to New Taipei in northern Taiwan, with a Lexus RX smashing into the rear end of a Toyota Vios sedan, sending it violently across the road.

After viewing the video a couple of times and seeing how the Vios was catapulted, we think that the Toyota driver was actually quite lucky to not be involved in another crash.
