A driver is lucky to be alive after flipping his car while speeding on a beach and being thrown from the vehicle, flying through the air like a crash test dummy.
Dramatic footage shows the moment the Toyota FJ Cruiser speeds across the sand, seemingly out of control as it zigzags between sea and sand.

The SUV appears to catch an edge before flipping and turning several times, before coming to a stop on its side.
As it rolls through the water, the driver is thrown high into the air, flipping over several times himself before crashing into the sea next to his overturned car.
