The driver and co-driver of a rally car were lucky to walk away on Saturday after they smashed into a wall and rolled their vehicle into a ditch.

Driver Frederick David and co-driver Wesley Declercq misjudged a corner during the Rally van Wervik and ploughed their Citroen at speed into the wall during the Kruiseke stage.

Spectators ran to help them and both were described as "OK" after the dramatic smash.
