That is absolutely tragic. Jeez, and this driver was clearly trying to "elude" the police who were trying to get them OFF the road.

I hope they put 'em away and throw away the key! :grrr:

There's no escaping when it's your time. This sort of reminds me of the saying that if God wants to kill you in a plane crash, he'll drop a plane on you. Shows that you're never safe.

I am still shocked as to how in the world that car was able to do that! I told some police friends of mine and they say they HAVE to see this one to believe it.


My prayers are going out to this young fellows family. Such a senseless and needless tragedy!!

From what I understand the car ran over the curb and that caused it to go airborn and fall through the roof.

Just a curb? Must have had a ramp for it to actually get that high and land the way it did.

Linda I witnessed an accident many years ago..a car had hit a driveway and just the right angle and went airborne. You had to see it to believe it.

I think she should be charged with and convicted of 2nd degree murder. She should spend a very long time in prison, though less than life.
