NASCAR driver Josh Berry suffered a horrifying crash at the Coke Sugar Zero 400.
The 33-year-old’s car flipped off the track before hitting a fence at Daytona International Speedway in Florida.
Berry was on his way to finish on the podium on Saturday night before the accident occurred with just two laps to go.
His No. 4 Ford car was behind Austin Cindric’s No. 2 at the time.
A clip from NBC’s X account displayed Berry’s car going off the track after being touched by Cindric’s car.
Berry’s car turned over and slammed into the wall, spinning around numerous times on its roof before stopping.
He was even trapped for a while in the car after the sequence.
Fortunately, Berry gave a thumbs-up to the crowd after he got out of his vehicle.
It was revealed by NASCAR‘s official X account that Berry was “evaluated and released from the infield care center.”
After the crash, Cindric, meanwhile, was able to increase his lead.
