Wow is right! It's amazing that guy was alive after that crash.
The reporter said that investigators were trying to determine if speed had any role in the crash...looked like it did to me...I mean, how could that car catapult like it did had it not been going at that high rate of speed???

What I find strange is the fact that the driver doesn't attempt to use the brakes while running off the road! ONLY for a fraction of a second while he's flying, you can see the brake lights come on!?  Was the guy sleeping? Can you press the gas peddle when you're a sleep? What ever - fact is, he was going at the right speed to keep him alive ! ?

 wow....... bet it was a bad front tire, saw that happen to a van full of hippies ( no really) in Dallas once on Central Expressway ( U.S. 75) ..... they were lucky , they just did horizontal cartwheels down the center of the highway......THAT though , the folks had someone looking over them to walk away from that....... I bet they were wearing helmets !

looks like he pulled a "fight club" and just let go of the steering wheel with the gas to the floor

News story I saw said he'd been passing cars at 100mph. I can guess his last words as he realized he was passing a cop on the shoulder.

He was "ejected" which is probably best since I am not sure there is a piece of that car big enough to be attached to when that was over.

Well, ya have to admit you can at least say one thing about the kid's driving skills.....evidently he knows that passing on the right is seldom a good idea. (...it's just a shame he evidently ran out of left lanes to pass on, that's all) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
