Bruce Jenner has had a serious car crash into a ditch and is said to be lucky to still be alive.

The star and his son Burt smashed their motor during the infamous Baja 1000 off-road race in the Mexican desert on Thursday, November 13, and whilst the two escaped with cuts and bruises, Burt was seen wearing a catheter following the incident.

Taking to his Instagram, Burt posted a picture of him and his father enjoying a post-race drink, adding the caption: "Well I don't want to say the race didn't go as planned, because it did... we had a blast, learned a ton about Baja, made a bunch of new friends who I will remember for life, didn't bend the truck (even though we went off twice) and we came home safe..."

He also took to the social networking site to thank the crew members who chipped in and helped to repair their $1 million ride following the five-day event.

"In this picture is the group of people who helped us out in the middle of the desert when we broke the truck and offered us pizza and beer and radios... at this point after hours in the desert dad and I were starving, thirsty, and needed a radio to signal our race was over... they pretty much solved all or problems and made life good again. (sic)" he wrote.

TMZ claim that the two had to wait a few hours to continue their road race following the smash, eventually being forced to pull out because they lost too much time due to the crash.

Several racers and spectators have been killed in the past at the annual event, costing at least $125,000 to enter and trucks costing around $500,000.
