UNDATED (NBC) -- It's difficult to believe driver Jeremy Foley and his co-driver survived their crash during Sunday's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb after watching a video posted on YouTube.

According to the video description, Foley's car flew off the side of the mountain near Mile 16 at Devil's Playground.

The Mitsubishi Evolution 8 rolled several times before coming to a stop. Rescue crews lifted both Foley and co-driver Yuri Kouznetsov to an area hospital.

Miraculously, both survived without many injuries. Kouznetsov dislocated his shoulder.
