It’s not every day that you get to see a video quite like this. This guy, Andrew MacDonald, was driving on a road in British Columbia and apparently blacked out at the wheel – when he came to, he realized he’d crashed and was not out of the car, which was mangled and had him trapped, so he decided to take a video of himself being rescued.

In the description accompanying the YouTube video, he writes:

“I got into a car accident. Shortly after the fire crew arrived I was video taping myself getting cut out of the car. Jaws of life right behind my head.

On January 11th, 2015 I blacked out behind the wheel at 530 in the morning after a night in Victoria, BC. Drove straight into a pole on the drivers side at 60km/h in Duncan, BC. Suffered a broken right arm. Broken left Femur. Broke both knee caps. And both ankles.

Went for major surgery in Victoria which took total 14 hours over a couple days. Metal plates and screws all over. Spent a month in hospital. Only 1 hot nurse 😐 But I’m home now. And recovering quickly! And FYI, I was not drinking, or under the influence of any drugs.”
