except this wasn't a movie. http://www.wdtn.com/dpp/news/video:-i-675-crash-caught-on-tapeI know it's an accident because he probably didn't intentionally launch his car into an overpass support column but really? Stupid is as stupid does and the term "accident" kinda reaches out for sympathy to me and he doesn't deserve any. I'm sure the guy would rather have died that survived that crash. It's funny how the reporter says that they are investigating to see if speed had anything to do with the accident. Ya think? I wonder what kinda shape the overpass support column is in. That was actually my first thought. Well, almost. First I thought, "Wow, he caught a lotta air." Then I thought, "Huh, I wonder how that column handled the impact." |

I saw that this morning... wow. And yeah, I thought 'Well duh speed was a factor' when the reporter made that comment. |

This happened about a block form my house! I was having breakfast on the deck when the CareFlight chopper came in- sounded like it was going to land in my yard. He passed a State Patrol cruiser which is where the video came from, he wasn't being chased. Speed was estimated at 80+. No reason why yet- the kid is critical (duh). Today they are inspecting the bridge. The impact point was about 25 feet off the ground.

80+ I think that's a given. He blows by that trooper like the patrol car was parked. Even if the trooper was doing only 55... that car looked like it was doing a solid century and then some.

really interesting twists to this story.
he had been arrested that morning with alcohol opened in the car, marajuana and an underage girl. he was released less than an hour later!
sounds more like attempted suicide at this point.

So someone posted his bail? IIRC, he's a 19 y/o kid. If I just bailed my kid outa prison, I wouldn't be leaving any car keys around. He'd be in the cellar with a padlock on the door. |

saw that yesterday 80 sounds like a low estimate for that much air i think. but then again with all that energy having to go somewhere up is the only option. awesome.

Favorite convo i read on this board
"PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN"
"F**K U IT HAPPENED"
Suzuki Blvd M109R " Sliver " = assassinated by cager
PW 696 " Pearl " = traded in
M1100 " Loki " = Viking God of mischief ( Goddess in this case )
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty pristine body, but rather to come in sliding sideways all used up screaming F*CK YEAH WHAT A RDIE!!

I only see jesus having a sauna with a teletubbie.
I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

He just got done watching Roadtrip.. "We can jump it!!"
AWESOME!!
Looks like the car turned to the left just before impact. Otherwise..he would've been toast.
