Cameraman survives crazy crash

A camera man was lucky to escape with only a few bumps and bruises after a racing car went careening into the scaffolding he was standing on.

Several cars got tangled up at the back of the grid at Sunday's British Touring Car Championship at the Snetterton Circuit in England and one went tumbling off the track and into the camera tower.

Cameraman Phil White still on top and managed to get the whole incident on film as he toppled over with the structure.

Autosport reported White was "shaken but conscious".

The race was stopped immediately and the injured man was tended to.

Stewards fixed the barriers and the race was later restarted.
