I guess this is the best place to post this. I guess the guy is still alive.

The crash shut down freeway for six hours

Natural selection interrupted once again. Why do we save people like this? You know they breed, right?

I'm more surprised that the state cop was going the speed limit then anything else in this video.

He is exceedingly lucky to still be alive regardless of his condition.

Just LOOK at whats left of the car!

Who would be that stupid to do that! But that kid is lucky to be alive! Although it is sad to say the same cant be said about the firebird.

Car? Where?

Looks like it may have burned too, besides having the roof cut off. Saw this earlier today, if it was relatively stock I pinned it as an 85 as well.

oscarsrs

Damn the turbo boost failed .... back in the day it would have cleared the bridge.

Doom86

Just maybe his throttle got stuck on the floor and his brakes went out while rushing to a house fire, we could be a bit harsh here.

But since it happened at 7am he was probably late and rushing to work. Been there done that, I'm sure we all have, just didn't go over board like this guy.

I'm guessing there was much less traction on the side of the road then he thought.

This is why I hate "the news" and don't have TV. Here we are all making assumptions about this guy when all we have is a video of his car exploding in super slow-mo.

Now what if this guy had a seizure at the wheel and we're all poking fun?

MarionCobretti

I live in Dayton, and I heard about this today. It happened around 7 in the morning. Word is the kid was passing cars in traffic going about 100, but what caused him to get off onto the median was someone changing lanes without signaling, causing him to swerve and get out into the median. I have no idea if that's true or not, as it's based on comments on local news stories, but I do hope the kid makes it.

Also, there are photos of the aftermath of the crash here: http://projects.daytondailynews.com/...l/082310crash/

It's pretty horrifying. The front of the car ended up on the northbound side of the road, and the rear half on the southbound side, over a hundred yards down the road.

Doom86

wait that's the back seat not the front *edit*

That is ridiculous. Very few cars would give you the opportunity to fight for your life after an accident like this. I NEVER would have thought a 3rd gen was one of them.

DIRTY JERZY

Only kit had turbo boost

every other car came with a defroster button guess no one told him

//<86TA>\\

iTrader: (14)

no sure which way you are going with this, but 3rd gens are pretty tough cars and can take a hit. there have been many threads and pics/stories here on tgo over the years.

but i think this one takes the cake.

Jr. Mechanic

iTrader: (3)

Oh yeah, they are relatively tough, but they are still a flimsy unibody sports car. I've seen plenty of them wrecked and feel safe in mine, no question about that. But no vehicle is designed to take a direct T bone by a concrete overpass 20 feet in the air at 100mph, let alone an F body.

Pairof91rss

Hope the guy makes it...
That was brutal. If this kid was in a hurry and made a mistake, hope A LOT of people take a hard look at what can happen with a fast car and lack of skills to handle that speed (read:teenagers lol).

If it happened because of, like mentioned above, a stuck accelerator or perhaps a seizure or something of that nature...well, maybe we all should think before we post something ill willed...I should have

Passing cop at 100mph? Drives off road and hits bridge? Looks like attempted suicide to me.

I am very offended by this comment. im 17 and have never been pulled over once nor have i been in any accidents( close call in the winter one time though). Im just messing with you though, i dont blame you for having that outlook, im one of the only kids in my class without any tickets, and alot of the other kids get pretty reckless with their vehicles, they think going 105 down a gravel road is something to brag about

I believe I can fly

Ok, that's it! I will never listen to R Kelly again while driving the Z!

In all seriousness though, he is lucky to be alive. On a good note though, he most likely didn't have a seizure since the police said he was concious and alert after the accident. Its doubtful that a crash like that would "knock" someone out of a seizure. Since the new rumor is that he swerved to miss a car that was changing lanes without signaling seems more likely Im going to toss this one up to Bad Judgement. Hopefully he survives but never get his license back.

Anybody think that this might've been a suicide attempt? I mean think about it, in the video, you did NOT see the car's brake lights on or the driver making any attempt to avoid that barrier that got him airborne. Granted, it all happened very fast but I think we would've seen something. Or maybe he was on something:

Your on this forum for a reason, and I don't think its because you wanted better gas mileage!

TheGoodOld305

i was thinking it was an attempted suicide, he was arrested and let go with a court summonze 20 min. before hand. Got caught with mary j and an unopend bear with a 15 year old in the car

It is when you do it without wrecking and hella fun. Dirt roads teach you car control better than pavement.
