John Barrowman seems to have all the luck at the moment.
The popular actor, who portrays Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood, managed to survive a terrifying high-speed crash after losing control of his car.
Barrowman, 42, whose character on the show cannot die, was filming a slot for Fifth Gear when the accident happened.
Lucky escape: Somehow John received only cuts and bruises in the violent crash
He was taking part in a race in Powys, Wales, with Fifth Gear presenter Tiff Needell, who was in the passenger seat when the crash happened.
The £120,000 Subaru slid down a verge, flipped four times and almost went into a lake at the bottom of the hill, according to the News of the World.
Paramedics pulled Barrowman and Needell out, and removed shattered glass from Barrowman's eye before he was taken to hospital.
Enjoyable: Tiff and John seemed to be having fun before the crash occurred
The pair were lucky to survive the high-speed crash, which saw the car flip over numerous times
Barrowman said: 'I'm lucky to walk away unscathed. I got a ticking off from my mum afterwards.'
Thankfully for his matinee idol looks, the Torchwood star was only left with cuts and bruises and nothing permanent.
The crash will be screened on tomorrow's Fifth Gear, which is shown on Channel 5.
Both men were wearing safety equipment to minimise any possible injuries sustained
These images were taken just before Barrowman lost control and show him veering round a steep corner
Barrowman's survival comes just three years after Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond crashed the Vampire dragster during filming. while travelling at 288mph.
Hammond suffered a serious brain injury and was lucky to survive at all.
He is now fully recovered and back presenting Top Gear with co-presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May.

Might as well have said "comes just 65 million years after a mass extinction" for the relevance it has.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
