The state of the vehicle left many viewers surprised. The tyres were completely worn off, the undercarriage was scraped bare, yet the windows remained intact throughout the ordeal. Bystanders eventually helped pull both men from the car.

One of the survivors, visibly shaken but smiling, credited the vehicle's build for their survival.

"Buy a bulletproof car if you have money. It will somersault several times, and you'll wake up solid," he said.

His companion appeared equally composed given the circumstances, and the two men's condition drew widespread disbelief online.

Available reports did not independently verify how the crash occurred.
