FAST AND FURIOUS
Out-of-control Tesla filmed FLYING 100ft over railway tracks before crashing in school parking lot
The Model S was driven by a 46-year-old man in Canadian city Barrie
LIKE the final movie scene of a high-speed car chase, a Tesla was filmed flying 100 feet through the air over train tracks.
Incredibly, the driver and passenger escaped without any major injuries - including no injured passersby.

After travelling at high speeds on Little Avenue in the city of Barrie in Canada, the Model S became airborne having crossed a steep incline leading up to railway tracks.
The impact of the crash forced the 2016 Tesla to skid and smack into a tree in Assikinack Public School's car park.
The clip also shows pedestrians running to the scene of the crash.
Police arrived shortly after 8:30pm to find the "demolished" electric car and arrested the 46-year-old male driver.
Having been taken to a local hospital to be treated for minor injuries along with his passenger, the man will appear in court for dangerous driving on October 1, 2018.
Barrie Police tweeted about the incident, condemning the driver for putting lives at risk.
The post read: "It may look 'cool' and like something out of the movies, but in reality the action of this driver put many lives at risk, including his own.
"He now faces Criminal Charges and will appear in court on October."
