Emergency workers were able to pull the man out alive.

Some onlookers expected the worst, because of how damaged the car looked.
"If the guy is living and they save his life it's a total miracle, but it's because of their efforts." said onlooker, Ed Chinoski.
When the victim was finally pulled out he was strapped to a gurney, and he raised on fist to the cheering onlookers.
