Watch: A driver with an attack of the sneezes causes car to flip, bursts into flame

A US driver with an attack of the sneezes is lucky to be alive, after his sneezing caused him to career off the road.

The allergy attack was so violent, it shook the 42-year-old's hands from the wheel, causing his SUV to flip.

Fortunately for the motorist, the incident happened outside a golf course in a town near Nashville, Tennessee, where a group was luckily teeing off.

The golfers rescued him from the car and helped push the SUV upright - just before it caught fire.

The Charlotte Observer reports that the incident happened around 2pm on Monday (local time).

The driver has not been identified by media outlets.
