'Drifting' car hits Russian TV reporter during show

A young Russian reporter survived a brush with death after he was hit by a car during a drifting demonstration near Moscow.

A video posted on YouTube shows a stunt car spinning out of control before it literally wipes the young man from the screen.



The reporter was knocked to the ground then gets up dazed and confused but alive.  He suffered a concussion.

In drifting, speeding light-weight cars oversteer while slamming on their brakes to skid across roadways.  The sport began with a cult following in Japan before being made popular by the 2006 movie: "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift."

In high school, we called it doing donuts.

  1. That musta hurt. The video, although I was prepared on what was going to happen, still shocked me upon impact.
