Talk about being in the right place at the right time. If you're ever going to have your car go off the road, make sure you do it in front of a gym. That's what happened to one unlucky/lucky driver in the town of  Bad Zwischenahn, Germany on Monday.

Local cops say a 38-year-old man lost control of his car and somehow veered into a 6 foot deep ditch. The motorist wasn't seriously hurt, but his car was stuck in the pit and he couldn't get it out. Normally you'd expect to have to wait for a tow truck to rescue you from this kind of pickle.

But not this time.

It turns out the accident happened across the street from a gym where a group of body builders were working out. They saw what happened and offered the kind of help only they could provide. The ten men proceeded to get together and bodily pull the heavy wreckage out of the trough.

"They dropped their sweat towels and water bottles and ran over the road to the crash site," a police spokesman explains. "They then heaved the car out. It only took them a few minutes."

The driver was grateful for their help, treating the strong armed knights wearing a lot less than shining armour to drinks back at the gym. But in keeping with their regimen, they were only energy drinks.

There's no immediate word on why the accident victim lost control.
