Miraculous high-speed escape in drag race crash

A dramatic video has emerged of a motorcyclist making a miraculous high-speed escape from a huge crash at a drag racing event in the UK on Sunday.

Greek racer Filippos Papafilippou escaped serious injury after colliding with his opponent at more than 200 km/h at a European Drag Bike racing event at the Santa Pod Raceway track in Bedfordshire.

Papafilippou can be seen clipping a lane divider before crashing into rival racer Steve Woollat.

The resulting impact caused Papafilippou to be thrown from his own bike, but miraculously, he somehow managed to land on the wheelie bar attached to the back of Woollat’s bike, who continued the race without crashing.

Emergency services had to cut Papafilippou’s foot free from the wheelie bar after the race - but he only suffered minor abrasions to his ankle.
