This was the scene after a driver got a terrifying wake-up call having falled asleep while driving.

Andy Dangerfield had been on his way college after an early start when he nodded off at the wheel. He careered into the centre of Interstate 90 in Montana and straight into a metal guardrail which speared through the engine of his Chevy Suburban. Before he could slow the station wagon, it had passed through and exited via the rear window - missing his body by inches.

Dangerfield, 21, told police he had left his Washington home early that morning on his way to a college in Idaho but at about 11.30am he began to get tired and must have fallen asleep. These amazing photographs were taken by passerby Sam Ingram who said, 'The driver was a guy heading east to college.

I dont know if you can call that guy lucky. He got away with his life but that doesnt mean it couldnt have ended better for him.

He wouldn't have had the accident at all and woken up without incident if he was "lucky".

This traumatic experience might just be enough to keep him from sleep-driving in future ^^

it is luck to survive that, it would be extreme luck if he fell asleep while driving and didnt hit anything just waking up again still driving without any damage. or would that be ridiculous luck?

Not this again with the luck thing...

When I read the headline/saw the picture I thought the guy was impaled along with the car. That would have been grisly.
