INDIANAPOLIS A Muncie man is a survivor: he somehow lived through a car crashing through, of all things, an auto repair shop.

He was pinned in the wreckage before his co-workers even knew where he was.

"He asked who's going out for lunch. And then boom!" recalled fellow mechanic Tim Jenkins.

Jenkins said he was just feet away when that conversation started and ended with a deafening blow.

It was all from a Dodge Stratus that came crashing through the wall of Earl's Auto Shop and right into the bay where Mark Reynolds was standing.

"All I knew was there was a loud crash and he was no longer standing next to me, " said Jenkins.

It all unfolded in front of the security camera rolling in the garage's back corner It caught every horrifying second as the 42 year-old mechanic disappears somewhere in the debris. His co-workers feared the worst.

"That was my first thought because he wasn't asking for help, he wasn't saying I'm hurt bleeding trapped, get me out of here, anything," said Jenkins.

After a few seconds, with the driver obviously stunned, Reynold's coworkers finally found him pushed up against an iron work bench, he was alive, but in obvious shock.

"His body was pointed this way, contorted in a way you wouldn't think a body would twist," remembers Jenkins.

According to witnesses, the driver of the Stratus was leaving a shopping center when a driver let her pass along Walnut. However, another driver came barrelling through and she panicked, hit the gas and kept going.

And as we were finishing a look at the resulting damage, look who hobbled in on crutches, amazingly with only cuts to his leg and bruised ribs. Reynolds himself, stunned by his own survival.

"How did you get the bearings to get yourself out of the way? I didn't, just all piled on top of me, they started to unbury me, I don't know, " said crash victim Mark Reynolds.

Earl says cleanup and now more work on the other cars can wait. For now they're grateful for the miracle that kept a tragedy from happening.

"We run a Christian shop here and I think the Lord was in here, angels, because by all rights he should be dead.," said Jenkins.

Earl says he will install cement barriers on the outside of the bay doors, in case "lightning strikes twice."
