Default Horrific Crash & Video (Monday Aug. 23)

http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/...sh-877351.html

Read article and watch video of the crash (from inside trooper vehicle).

Just crazy. I have never seen a crash like this.

Survival of the fittest I guess.

Nonetheless, very sad situation that probably could and should have been avoided.

That was full-on Dukes-of-Hazard style!!

When they replayed it in slow motion, I could almost hear the car horn playing "Dixie".

BEAVERCREEK — Beavercreek police released 19-year-old Brennan Eden of Mason from custody roughly 20 minutes before he sped down Interstate 675 on Monday morning, hit a culvert, and launched his Pontiac Firebird into the Wagner Road overpass.
Sad, though Darwin is in effect.

I am speechless. I wonder if he did that on purpose. That looked a little intentional

Just saw a CBS TV news report that stated he was let out of jail 15 minutes earlier.

Interesting reaction the cars in front of him had. They all put on their brakes once he hit the bridge. Luckly they didn't slow down too fast and end up where he landed.
