Driver's miraculous escape
A Chinese driver escaped with barely a scratch after hundreds of steel bars crashed through the windscreen of his car.
Yang Junsheng, 24, ducked as the bars shot towards him and incredibly they all missed him.
He was left in shock - but with only a few scratches to his left cheek, following the accident in Taizhou, Zhejianag Province.
Yang admitted that the accident happened as he was trying to drive away from a police officer as the car was unregistered.
He smashed into a pick-up truck carrying a load of steel bars which were sent flying through his windscreen.
"My mind was very clear at that second, and I immediately dived down onto the passenger seat," Yang said.
"I heard an explosion and when the car stopped I couldn't move because the car was full of metal bars. They were everywhere."
He went to hospital for a check up but doctors said he had no injuries at all, apart from his scratches.
"It's pure magic that he could survive this," said one police officer. "When I saw the car I thought the driver had to be dead."

PETA sues SeaWorld under US slavery law
An animal rights group has sued SeaWorld on behalf of its whales under an American law abolishing slavery.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) claim the chain of theme parks violate the rights of killer whales under the 13th Amendment of the US Constitution.
Five performing whales at SeaWorld - Tilikum, Katina, Corky, Kasatka, and Ulises - are listed as plaintiffs in the complaint.
Full story
Seriously. What on earth would a killer whale know about legal rights. Are those names real, or just named by humans. If they put half the effort into human slavery, the world would be a little better.

Rare white kiwi survives surgery
The world's only known white kiwi has survived surgery to remove stones from her gizzard, reports a New Zealand Wildlife Centre.
Over a week ago, rangers noted that Manukura, the six month-year-old chick, was off her food.
X-rays revealed that two large stones were obstructing the chick's guts.
In two separate operations, vets at Wellington Hospital in New Zealand used lasers to successfully break apart the rocks.
Pukaha Mount Bruce, New Zealand's North Island wildlife centre, where Manukura lives, reported that the bird's heart slowed suddenly during the surgery giving the operating team "a bit of a scare".
But the little white bird pulled through and is recovering in isolation from other animals.
Kiwis, like other birds, swallow stones to help them digest their food.
The bird's not an albino but a colour morph
