You aren't going to believe this...the guy lived and expected to recover@!
 
It happened just down the street from where I live....I live on the road the overpass is on. I awoke to the noise of the careflight. I went down to see parts EVERYWHERE! Could not figure out what caused it at the time until I saw the footage. Imagine passing a cop at above a 100mph!! In morning rush hour no less.

It is amazing that the guy is still alive! At least no one else was involved.

i think he's F.T.D. (fixin' to die). A modern vehicle would be hard pressed to protect the occupant(s) in that type of crash, let alone a 20 y/o vehicle.

I can't belive he survived at all, I mean look at the airtime he got, and the overall impact... just... wow.

It's tough to see with the cloud of dirt, but it looks like the car had already rotated almost 180 degrees when it reached the bridge. It may have only hit there with a glancing blow. Look at how small the impact scar is on the bridge post (don't go by the end of the clip -- that's showing the opposite side). Had the car hit head-on, he would have definitely been DRT.

The trooper said the driver was ejected! I wonder if he was helped by landing in the grass.

Sorry, I can't help but laugh.

Black Fire-bird (K.I.T.T.) was travelling over 100mph (Super Pursuit Mode) when the driver (Michael Knight) unwittingly launches the car (Turbo Boost) into an overpass! This is just soooo freaking Hollywood!!

:lol:

KITT never would have rammed his face into a dirt mount to launch himself to a grisly death.

We can only hope Davis Hasselhoff's current car has no such aversions to instant, violent obliteration :lol:

That's a pretty bad crash, I hope he survives.

Looks like it rotated to the Passengers front when it made contact, and then broke up. He almost caught the vehicle on the brakes too, so very lucky nobody else got it.

If it was a Toyota he could blame the floor mats or the brakes!:rolleyes:

Alright I'll be the one to say it.... THANK GOD IT WASN'T AN SVX!!

Those Firebirds ever get a recall for brakes or anything like that? :rolleyes:

Agreed... he gets 10's across the board due to the high degree of difficulty involved in making a 3500+lb car fly through the air, completing a half twist, with a flawless, ejection landing on grass to cap it off.

I think the technical term would be "dismount"

The news today says that he was released from custody 20 minutes before the crash.
But that's the news, and who knows what twist they put on that one.

Same here!

Has anyone figured out why he even went off the road? There doesn't seem to be any reason for him to steer onto the grass like that... or maybe he saw the cop at the last moment and hit the brakes hard and ... fell asleep?

kwren 08-27-2010 01:57 AM

Re: You aren't going to believe this...the guy lived and expected to recover@!
 
Probably tried to kill himself...

Traffic, I would think.
That coupled with the fact that you have a 19 year old with limited experience {a fact, not a dig} in a high performance vehicle = bad outcome.

The paved left shoulder is as wide as a traffic lane. Traffic not a factor.:)

Looks to me like he was pulling a grass pass, noticing the cop scared him and he made an error and went off road.

I would have been more scared to fly through the air then of the cop!
