buenymayor Aug 24th, 10, 08:56 PM Man!!! He didn't even hit his brakes 'til he was in the air.
FrostWhiteZ Aug 24th, 10, 09:10 PM man look at that chunk of concrete he took out of the bridge pillar!

Wow..hope he makes it..says he's 19..if anyone can survive it its a kid. Many of us are living proof!
When we were just out of high school a friend drove his 3rd Gen off an overpass like the one above.
Just shook up not hurt..he still misses that car!
69 merlinpro565 Aug 24th, 10, 09:45 PM I saw that on the news here...from what they said, he was stopped 5 or 10 min earlier for speeding and alcohol by the state police but was let go!
I heard it from the news station, so it should be true...if so, those cops might be in a little trouble...
HOGDADDY Aug 24th, 10, 09:57 PM Wow that was some impact there!
ace's68 Aug 24th, 10, 10:45 PM Mark,
The video screen takes a few seconds to load, depending on your connection. After a few seconds, if no video appears; it's most likely your flash player. Mine updates just about every day, along with adobe and itunes, otherwise some video players will not play on the screen.
Jess67 Aug 25th, 10, 01:14 AM It wont load for me...

DOUG G Aug 25th, 10, 02:37 AM I've done some stupid stuff.... but WOW :eek:
casey0272 Aug 25th, 10, 04:27 AM no comment...wow
bwcamaro68 Aug 25th, 10, 04:55 AM was he trying to redue the scene from Freejack? No brakes no swerve no brains?
its amazing he is alive.
1969 RS/SS DROPTOP Aug 25th, 10, 05:00 AM Very lucky to be alive and a complete idiot. He could have killed so many innocent people!!
TJS69 Aug 25th, 10, 08:13 AM The Duke boys would have landed without a scratch !
68 Ragtop Aug 25th, 10, 09:05 AM Watch the video again. It's not the guardrail that launches him, it's a culvert or dip in the median along the guardrail.

69Z28 Aug 25th, 10, 09:45 AM WOW! I wonder what he was thinking.
Eleanor's Nemesis Aug 25th, 10, 10:12 AM WOW! I wonder what he was thinking.
He wasn't.
69Z28 Aug 25th, 10, 10:34 AM He wasn't.
And maybe he was. Who really knows?
TJS69 Aug 25th, 10, 02:00 PM I wonder where HE landed ? I don't think he stayed in his seat. If he lives, talks, and walks it will be amazing.
captcanuck68 Aug 25th, 10, 05:14 PM Being in critical condition could mean brain damage?...poor family! Sure glad that no one else was involved.

68 Ragtop Aug 25th, 10, 07:33 PM WOW! I wonder what he was thinking.
One of many possibilities is that he was just angry and speeding after being hassled by the cops. If he came upon some slow moving traffic (because that is what happens near a police cruiser) and tried to go around it on the median, that dip just took him out.
It's all speculation at this point, but i don't think he expected to hit the dip and crash. Remember how invincible you think you are at that age?
ace's68 Aug 26th, 10, 01:12 AM Yup, guard rail launched him!
I really do think those things cause more harm than good. Sometimes nowhere to go, guess it's so people don't go into oncoming traffic, but that median is more than enough to NOT need a rail there, most likely there for the bridge.
He must have been ejected before impact.
He is just a kid, a not very smart one, but we all make mistakes. I do hope he makes it, critical condition is no joke, if it's brain damage; chances are good he won't pull through from what I have seen, but I do hope this is a case where he does.
novaderrik Aug 26th, 10, 07:54 PM looks like the rear bumper cover and tail lights are still usable.
