Police dash cam catches a crash, estimated speed is near 100mph.

See the video at the link below. What I can't believe is the idiot survived the wreck!

How does someone survive a crash like that.

Lucky bridge was there or someone would have been killed on the other side of the road.

That stupid kid is lucky to be alive. I have no pity for someone who puts others in danger like that. Hope he learns his lesson.

The only reason he lived is because K.I.T.T. turned the car around (after hitting the Turbo Boost to fly) in midair so he hit the bridge with the rear, not the front. Lucky.

I give it an 8.3.

Holy launch pad into a bridge abutment Batman, That was intense. I saw that clip on the news last night and they said the occupant of the vehicle lived.

A Mason teenager is fighting for his life in a Dayton hospital after he drove his car off the left side of Interstate 675 on Monday morning, struck a culvert and went airborne, sending his car smashing into a bridge overpass.

Brennan Eden, 19, was ejected from his Firebird which Ohio State Highway Patrol said "disintegrated into many pieces."

No one else was injured and no other vehicles were involved in the 7 a.m. crash that shut down the southbound lanes of I-675 for five hours Monday.

The crash - which was caught on tape by a Sugarcreek Township police officer - remains under investigation.

At 7 p.m., roughly 12 hours after the crash, Eden was listed in critical condition at Miami Valley Hospital, where he was flown by medical helicopter for treatment. Eden's family has requested the hospital withhold additional medical updates from the media, a hospital spokeswoman said.

According to Eden's Facebook page, he works as a shift manager at a United Dairy Farmers in Mason and plans to graduate from the Art Institute of Cincinnati in 2011 with a degree in filmmaking.

He graduated from Mason High School in 2009, according to his Facebook page.

If that bridge had not been there surely he would have gone into oncoming traffic. I hope he

lives through it and has a full recovery. In our youth we all did something stupid one time or another. Hard to imagine the pain his family is experiencing right now.

"it's just a flesh wound!" NIgh

[mdmoseley]

There was probably some intoxication invovled. It will get released when they subpeona his medical records.

[Guest Glock23ForMe]

Wow... That is crazy... I thought it was slightly ironic whenever he hit the brakes right after he got airborne. Maybe he meant his air brakes....

[monkeylizard]

That's jumping to conclusions. I know I never needed alcohol to make me drive like a jackass when I was 19.

Just the good ol' boys

Never meaning no harm

Beats all you ever saw, been in trouble with the law

Since the day they was born

Straightening the curves, flattening the hills

Someday the mountain might get 'em

But the law never will

[Guest Sgt. Joe]

Yes that was a trip, my first thoughts as it seems were those of a few was that there was no way anyone could have survived something like that. WOW did ya notice the chunk of concrete missing from that bridge support? The kid may well and should get a bill for those repairs.

I am constantly amazed that I survived my own young adulthood. I liked to drive fast myself, very fast....Yet some how I survived it all without even ever a DUI when many times one was deserved. I am not in any way proud of that but it is a fact.

Things like this also give credence to those who say our time on this earth is already predetermined. This would be why folks can live through such things yet others die from much more simple accidents. I think back to some things I have done as far as driving and really have to wonder about all that.

I hope the kid does indeed live but I also hope surviving that crash does not embolden him to continue such behavior.

What's amazing is that the female commentator, Megan O'Rourke said "Troopers are now investigating to see what role, if any, speed played in the crash":doh:

[Guest Sgt. Joe]

I caught this on FOX a few minutes ago and they were saying that just hours before this that the Police had detained this dude, found trace evidence of alcohol and weed but since he was not visibly impaired they let him go.

Maybe he already feels invincible?

[E4 No More]

Wow... That is crazy... I thought it was slightly ironic whenever he hit the brakes right after he got airborne. Maybe he meant his air brakes....

Well, it was a Firebird!

[vontar]

I just watched the video and the new story and the reporter said they are "troopers are investigating what role speed played if any speed played in the crash" I think the video speaks for that. Had it been at normal interstate speed it would not have been a crash.

It looks to me in the first video, he was with out stating the obvious he was driving way to fast and then he ended up about to rear end the LEO and went into the glass to avoid hitting the Leo.

BTW if what was stated on fox news is true about him being stopped shortly before with trace amounts of weed/alcohol at 19 years old, they should not have let him go either. They might be partly to blame is that is true for not getting him off the road when they had the opportunity to do so legally.

At 19, any amount of alcohol would be illegal I believe right? Not sure what they are defining as trace amounts.

Correct. Anything under 21 whether it's possession of alcohol, being under the influence, etc would be illegal. If it's true the only thing I can think of would be they made him destroy the weed and maybe he only smelled like alcohol, but wasn't intoxicated so they cut him a break?

At any rate if he got a break from that and then decided to go 100 mph down the interstate then I gotta say he got what he was looking for. As for the "what role speed played in the crash" comment by the reporter...well I'd say it played as big a role in the crash as Martin Luther King Jr. played in the civil rights movement.

[Guest spoolie]

I don't understand how some people are so lucky.

[mdmoseley]

legal limit under 21 is .02. doesnt take much to get that.

Was this the whole story or just the "abridged" edition?

Did you put that together or find it?
