A powerboat pilot has spoken of his luck in surviving an amazing crash on a Cumbrian lake in the UK.

Keith Whittle was taking part in Power Boat Records Week when his craft somersaulted.

The boat turned over at around 200km per hour but luckily he managed to escape with only minor injuries.

Keith said his first thought as the boat flipped was: “This is going to be expensive!”

The cause of the incident is being investigated. Keith says the accident hasn’t put him off at all.
