Reminded me of the Kubica crash at Canada. Except Kubica isn't an idiot.

That happened yesterday right by my house. My exit is the very next exit. I went thru there a little earlier. When I drove past today there are big black marks at the very top of the bridge embutment (sp?) a few feet from the top! Im glad he hit the bridge rather than the cars coming towards him!

Looked like something out of the Dukes of Hazard.

I wonder if his mullet survived.

"......a permanent reminder of just how dangerous the road can be"

It's a lot safer if you keep your car on the @#%$* road.

Alot of people commented on the link that the fella is "lucky to be alive."

Well, not necessarily...like persistive vegative state, severe permanent brain damage, spending the rest of your so called life with diapers and getting the drool wiped off your chin as you stare at things you don't see. You're lucky to be alive if you recover. Hate to sound negative, but there are alot worse things than the big dirt nap.

Glad none of the car hit anyone else and hope is family is holding up well.

Wow, watching the video on the link that Thom posted you can see the guy get ejected and skidding all the way across the road. He's done..

The guy had been in custody 20 minutes earlier, sounds like a real winner! Don't think he'll be driving much any more.
