" A single car crash on Interstate 675 shut down the southbound lanes in Sugarcreek Twp. for six hours Aug. 23.
Brennan S. Eden, 19, of Mason, Ohio, lost control of his car and slammed into the concrete pillar of a bridge south of Indian Ripple Road about 7:15 a.m.
The force of the crash broke the car into three pieces and Brennan was ejected.
Witnesses said moments before the crash, Brennan was passing other drivers at speeds of at least 100 mph. He crashed when he drove off the left side of the roadway while passing a Sugarcreek Twp. police car. The crash was caught on that officer's cruiser camera.
"He went down into the median, into the grass, hit the guardrail, went airborne and the car hit the center post of the bridge and literally exploded into three main pieces," said witness Mark Riley.
Police said Brennan was alert and conscious after the crash and was flown to Miami Valley Hospital by Careflight where he was last listed in critical condition.
"He is very lucky to still be alive at this point," said Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Marty Fellure. "You can see behind me the impact he took and where he got ejected and landed, he's a very fortunate man right now."
Fellure said they are still investigating the crash trying to determine the driver's speed and why he was passing cars on the berm."" - YouTube.

HybridHe's in critical condition/fighting for his life according to the articles about it. The fact that he's even alive is against the odds.>> ^Mcboinkens:
Did the driver even live? The car basically disintegrated.
robbersdog49Alert and conscious after that? Dude just won the lucky day lottery.

chilaxeI only have a vague idea what a Firebird is, but I believe it's some kind of automotive vehicle that bestows social status among douchebags.

If you watch carefully in the video, there is a large object that goes sliding all the way across the road and onto the opposite shoulder. That's him.
Croccydilesays...Well it IS a black Firebird, so perhaps it was KITT activating the turbo boost at the wrong time. Complete with the whoooooooosh sound effect.
rychanThis blog post from the guy in the silver mustang in the video (the car most visible in the dash cam) is quite interesting: http://blog.oneduality.com/2010/08/23/accident-on-south-675-here-in-daytonsugarcreek-was-the-worst-thing-ive-ever-witnessed/
He has an annotated video where he points out the driver being ejected, sliding across the highway, and stopping 10 feet in front of his Mustang.
MarineGunrockWay to be a dick and fuck over everyone during their commute.
XaxIf I lived closer to the hospital, I'd walk in there and strangle the motherfucker myself. If he lives, I hope he has a long, painful recovery.
honkeytonk73I'm giving him a 10 for the double axle split, followed by a quadruple flip and a successful dismount.

KITT: Go fuck yourself Michael...
MarineGunrock^Minus 5 for not sticking the landing.
Lowensays...Man, this makes me miss my own '87 Firebird. Some jerk in a pickup backed into it a few years ago :-(
FNORDcincosays...You can totally see him sliding there along the road but you can't tell unless you know thats him stopping in front of he grey car. CRAZY!

PaybackHe wasn't ejected so much as had the car peeled away from him.
alizarinHere's a picture of the guy.
PaybackAlizarin, that pic is dead.
But elsewhere on that site, something else that made "the boys" retract just thinking of riding it. Even though it's just a computer image, HOLY CRAP I WANNA RIDE THIS...

thegrimsleeperGood thing that bridge was there. He could have hit someone on the other side of the road.
GenjiKilpatrickWait, so..
He was found by police in the parking lot of a closed business at 6:15 in the morning with some beer and pot.. and a 15 yr old girl.. and they just told him to go home?!
::hazy eyes:: Sorry, ossifer. I'll get home- hiccup- IMMEDIATELY!!
thinker247In his defense, he lives in Ohio. There's not much else to do there.
ReverendTedHe's incredibly lucky he survived.
From the sound of things, the rest of us aren't.

quantumushroomThank goodness the bridge is OK.

Lucky? I think I'd prefer to be unconscious for a while after that.

You're pretty close, but douchebags are more about the Hondas. Firebirds and Camaros are more for the young mullet crowd.
xxovercastxxI found the following quote from this article fucking hilarious in light of the video:
"There was no reason to believe that Mr. Eden was a flight risk." -Sgt. Jim Wuebben
MarineGunrock"This article" is not actually a link. ah... you're missing the "f" from 'href'.

Retroboysays...So. Tasteless:
The ad Google chose to show at the bottom of this video was on from the tourism department of my home province.
It said, and I quote:
"This is one place you won't want to rush."
AWESOME CHOICE GOOGLE.
