Damn you, Duke boys!

Is that the driver I see flying off to the right across 2 lanes of traffic?

Flying cars are nice, but I still want the personal jetpack I was promised would become available by the time I became a young adult.  I'm middle aged now and it looks like jetpacks just aren't going  to happen!

From the video's comments, if they are to be believed...

"The mustang in the center lane is mine, when the car exploded against the bridge it was literally right next to me.. He was ejected from the car.. you can see him flying accross the highway and he literally comes to a stop 10 feet in front of my car .. it was horrific .. I couldn't even tell it was a person laying on the ground in front of me.. to imagine he survived that is mind blowing." 

"...all I know is I was driving in the middle lane when that car exploded next to me and I nearly ran the guy over when he was ejected... I can't justify 100mph for anything.. not when it puts other's lives at risk .. I'm glad he survived, I'm glad I survived and I'm glad those in the oncoming lane who had to dodge a chunk of car survived as well .. it was still needless."

I'll bet his insurance rates skyrocket.

What, you never had to get somewhere in a hurry?

The fact that he survived will probably mean that some enterprising lawyer will be suing the state for not installing padding on bridge pilings and not installing better cushioning around guardrails.

If he hadn't hit the piling, he looked to be on the perfect trajectory for a 360 and landing back on the road.

I'm guessing that this is gonna take a little more than a can of touch-up paint to repair....

"Beavercreek police said Tuesday that they had arrested Eden at 6:13 a.m. Monday on charges including possession of alcohol, drug paraphernalia and drug abuse after he was found with a 15-year-old Beavercreek girl in the parking lot near the corner of Beaver Vu Drive and North Fairfield Road.

The officer approached the vehicle because it was in the parking lot of a closed business at such an early hour. The officer found an unopened can of alcohol, a trace of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the car.

The girl was cited and released to her father. Eden was given a court summons and released."

"Records show that last Halloween, Eden was cited for failure to control after a crash in Warren County. Just nine days later, records show that he was ticketed for driving 90 miles an hour in a 65 mile an hour zone."

And he probably doesn't look like this anymore:

I kinda thought he was goin' for the Abe Lincoln look, myself.

And they both make great theater!
