VIDEO | American footballer escapes injury in 'filmed' road accident

Josh Koeppel, who plays for the Iowa Hawkeyes, was flipped into the air after colliding with a truck in Iowa city.

Police say 54-year-old truck driver John Logan had failed to look properly upon turning left at the traffic lights.

Amazingly, Koeppel calmly stood up following the crash and dusted himself down.

He suffered only cuts and scrapes but was taken to a nearby hospital for checks.
