This guy is lucky to be alive

Happened yesterday morning. A dumbass in a Firebird was doing 100 passing traffic on the left shoulder when he lost control. Just happened that a cop with the dash cam on was one of the cars he was passing.

Wow, I don't think he was speeding on purpose. I bet he had a seizure or something.

in dayton..... damn.

i believe i also read that he was in police custody 20 minutes before this happened?

What are the odds of the Cop being there at the precise time? The video is as perfect as any Hollywood movie. Happened 6 miles from my house.

Thanks a lot for those links CNC, I saw that this morning on my 42" flat screen and I still couldn't make out what kind of car it was from the clip showed he was going so fast. In the first link that support beam appeared to have moved, I wonder what kind of inspection was performed to insure it's still safe.

That cop should be thanking God because it looks like rear ending him was the other option.

"To see what role if any speed played in the accident" I wonder what that News woman was thinking when she said that.

After looking at it again, he never hit the brakes, maybe he fell asleep.

Yep, we got this thread going on over at driven2modify and I bet practically every other car forum has it up for discussion as well. If you look very closely you can see him eject and go hair, teeth over eyeballs across the road nearly getting run over by the guy escaping to the right shoulder. I'm thinking he went for the left shoulder pass but the tires got off the pavement and it was all over with at that point. "One more radar lover gone" . . .

I'll have to watch again to see him being ejected. What I noticed was the brake lights coming on --- after he was already airborne...

EDIT : Watched it again, and I've not positive that is him. That part seems to remain too straight while skidding across multiple lanes of traffic to be a person.

[robertisaar]

supposedly someone on digg was in the mustang that stopped ~10 feet away from running him over...

the way the car smashed is body would of went on the other side of the poles.
