Crazy and tragic accident involving a Pontiac G8

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?se...cal&id=7436898

Car must have traveled 100+ feet in the air.

Hopefully not a repost.

Unfortunate. Don't take physics for granted when you are driving that fast.

If you look closely .... the rear rim looks to be cut in half

I was just reading the story on one of our local news stations website. That happened here in Houston this morning. The driver was the 21 year old son of one of the sheriff’s departments here. So sad. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Sad. I seem to remember reading somewhere that car accidents are the #1 cause of death for people 17-24...

And this is why we strongly discourage street racing.

Yep. Followed by homicide, suicide, and alcohol poisoning.

He had to have gone off the freeway. That's like something straight out of a movie. Sad.
