Crazy Scary Car Crash Caught On Tape

BEAVERCREEK, OHIO (Dayton Daily News)-  A 19-year-old Mason man driving south on Interstate 675 on Monday morning near the Indian Ripple Road exit crashed his car into an overpass, breaking the car into pieces and shutting down traffic for five hours.

The driver has been identified as Brennan S. Eden. He underwent surgery Monday afternoon and was in critical condition.

The specific cause of the crash has not yet been determined, but Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Marty Fellure said crash investigators are looking into whether speed played a factor. The investigators also will test for alcohol, which is a routine procedure.

Eden was seriously injured and flown to Miami Valley Hospital via a CareFlight helicopter, according to Fellure.

The accident happened about 7:15 a.m. Monday, Aug,. 23. Eden was driving a 1985 Pontiac Firebird south along the highway when the car went left of center and struck a culvert, which launched the car into the air until it struck the Wagner Road overpass. The Firebird disintegrated into many pieces. Eden was ejected and came to rest on the right berm of southbound I-675.

Investigators don’t know how fast Eden was driving but suspect he was traveling in excess of the 65 mph speed limit.

============================

Still waiting word on how the driver of this is going to come out, but if he lives, it would almost be a miracle.  I don't know what would cause a car to go that far off the road unless a tire blew, or if he just was playing on the cell phone.   I like the line where it said "police suspect he was traveling in excess of the 65 mph speed limit."  You think?  That car was going no less than 80 when it launched in the air.

Whatever caused the accident, it was by far the nastiest crash video I have ever seen.   What is even more amazing is how it all got caught on video from a cop car.  Insane.  It may be a good thing he hit the overpass.  Think what would of happened if he went into the oncoming traffic?  Then we could be talking about several people in the hospital today.

  Hopefully, the kid is able to pull through, and his injuries are not life threatening.
