We can't tell if he's really lucky or really unlucky

A Florida driver miraculously survived a car accident that left his vehicle in two pieces.

Carlos Pino, 20, was driving in Winter Haven, Florida at around 6:48 p.m. when he started to slide on the wet road, according to a statement from the Winter Haven Police Department. He overcorrected, losing control of a 1986 Nissan 300ZX and crashing into a tree.

The vehicle split in two upon impact. Pino was airlifted to a hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Police say that in addition to the slick roadways, speed was a factor in the crash, and that charges against Pino are pending.

Car Splits In Two

Though the two share the same name, this driver is not the same "Carlos Pino" as a New York limousine driver who was involved in a crash that killed four people, after authorities say a drunk driver collided with the limo.
