Car Flies Through Air, Crashes Into Pillar

[LaurenG]

A Mason, Ohio teenager was critically injured after his car went airborne and flew into a concrete pillar.

This kid was traveling in excess of 100 mph and passed a policeman who had his dash cam running. He was thrown accross the interstate and is in critical condition but he's alive. :wow:

1. Couldn't connect to the clip and didn't see any text. Toyota? nt

[LaurenG]

3. No, not a Toyota

It was the 19 year olds Firebird and no one knows why he was driving so fast and on the median.

4. Thanks. 19-year-olds are invincible. Well, until they're not. nt

2. I hope the structural integrity of the bridge was not compromised. n/t

5. Yeah, it's not like US bridges get fixed anymore, unfortunately. nt

6. first, the commercial was funny. the crash, the car spun around hitting the back

instead fo head on. that was probably a huge plus. so sorry for the stupid kid, and i hope he recovers. think i will let my almost 16 yr old watch to see what stupid does.

7. Will the state police investigate, or does it fall on the FAA? nt

8. They showed the clip this morning on my local channel. I can't believe

that someone lived through that.

9. I think that was a suicide.

You don't pass a cop at 100 miles and hour onto the median into a column accidentally.

put a couple huge gas cans filled in back seat and drive into pillar.... to die.

10. Unintended accelleration?

Don't think Toyota is the only car company with this problem. Google is your friend!
