What’s the saying? The bigger they are, the harder they fall? Well, this Mitsubishi Pajero wagon fell hard all right after it was hit by an oncoming Mazda3 hatch.

The accident happened at around 7 in the morning on Sunday, July 5, in the Odessa region in Ukraine.

Apparently, the driver of the Mazda either fell asleep or was shortly distracted and veered onto the side of the road losing control of the car and sliding into the Mitsubishi SUV. We counted at least three complete rollovers before the Pajero’s dash-cam went dark.

Even though the video might suggest otherwise, amazingly, the family of three in the Mitsubishi was unscathed – no doubt, they were all wearing seatbelts.

The driver of the car, Andrey Melko said: “Today, my entire family has a new birthday. Thank God, we’re all alive and not harmed. I want to thank everyone who stayed and helped us”.
