A Romanian street racer launched his car into the air after hitting a roundabout.

CCTV footage captured the incident, which looks like a stunt from a “Fast & Furious” movie.

Luckily, the 22-year-old driver’s risky maneuver was performed while nobody was walking or driving down the street. 

After landing in a puddle of water, he got out of his vehicle---which luckily landed upright---while its lights flashed rapidly.

According to 9News, the incident was captured in the Romanian city of Braila, a city on the Danube River.

The driver was arrested and his license was suspended, The Telegraph reported. He was not injured.

The crash took place on May 4, but Romanian police released the video on Thursday.

The unnamed driver will face criminal charges for damaging the roundabout, but locals have complained it is poorly lit, according to the Telegraph.
