A driver briefly fell asleep and lost control of his vehicle, launching it into a barrel roll before landing in a tunnel.
Video released by Slovakian police shows the BMW launching off a barrier and hitting the top of the Borik tunnel before landing inside it.
The 44-year-old driver was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol but instead "suffered a microsleep" and lost control of the vehicle early Thursday morning, David Puchovsky, a police spokesman, told Global News.
The driver was not injured.
