Manhole Performs a Brutal Takedown on a Car
It's the back tire that'll get ya.
You don't need a Hollywood stunt cannon to send a car airborne. All it takes is a speedy vehicle and one uncovered, devilishly placed manhole.
A motorcyclist at the beginning of this recent video from parts unknown narrowly avoids the pit trap in the road. But soon after a car scores a direct hit with its back tire and lurches aloft, skidding for a half-second on its bumper and showering the neighborhood with trunk litter. That got traffic to slow down.
