Driver clambers from burning car after crash in Kiev

This is the shocking moment a driver moments away from death managed to escape from a burning car which rammed into a signpost.

The footage shows the crumpled car completely engulfed by flames as a male driver is seen hobbling out the back window of the vehicle before collapsing in a heap following the crash in Kiev, Ukraine.

Witnesses who rushed over to help the man claim clothes and pieces of skins were peeling of the unnamed man after his narrow escape from the burning wreck and slumped onto the road.

The exhausted man is then dragged away from what remains of the singed vehicle and is tended to by those near the wreckage.

The man’s Opel car allegedly hit a Toyota before slamming into the pole, although it is unclear who was responsible for the crash.

Mobile phone footage captured the aftermath of the crash and the burning inferno of the car.

In the video, a person can be heard screaming in a foreign language: ‘There is a man inside! He is alive!’

Then as a number of people tend to the burned driver, the car can be heard spluttering as though it could explode at any given moment.

Witnesses then move towards the vehicle as though they are trying to extinguish the fire, before a man shouts in the background: ‘What are they doing, it is going to blow up any moment.’

According to witness accounts, the car was completely destroyed by the inferno less than two minutes after the video was shot.

The driver was taken to a nearby hospital with multiple bruises, concussion and fractures, but is expected to survive the ordeal.

Police are investigating the incident.
