    A TOP Dublin DJ is lucky to be alive after being involved in a dramatic smash in a €60,000 Porsche.

    The Herald can today reveal how FM104 presenter Mark Noble had a miracle escape after the luxury car rolled over after a collision on the Blessington Road in Tallaght. The accident happened at around 10.45am on Saturday.

    Mark, a self-confessed car fanatic, told how he was the passenger in a 2007 Porsche Cayman after asking to go for a test drive.
    "I wasn't driving, it was the guy from the garage who was behind the wheel at the time. We were going along the Blessington Road and the car just lost control. It suddenly veered to the right towards the ditch and just rolled over. After that, everything felt like it was in slow motion," he explained.
    The frontman of daily programme The Jam admitted that he still can't believe that he managed to walk away unscathed.
    "When the car spun out of control, part of me did think 'I'm a goner' as I could see us heading towards a tree," he said. "When I realised I was OK, I managed to undo my seatbelt and crawl through the side-window which was smashed in. My main emotion was just shock that I was OK. The other guy was badly shaken up too, but neither of us were badly injured."
    The presenter was admitted to the Beacon hospital where he received stitches to his hand, forcing him to take the week off work.
    However, he said his ordeal still wouldn't put him off buying a sports car.
