Cruiser cam catches 100 mph crash
When passing cops on the shoulder, you need to AVOID the barriers, not aim for them!

He was likely running to avoid a speeding ticket.
I am shocked that he is still alive.

Anyone that has been driving for 3 years can control a car at raceway speeds.

oh sure, but the cop was in FRONT of the kid. A smart driver would at least slow down after spotting the cop NOT speed up.
If the camera is rolling, so are the pursuit lights. The cop was driving slowly in that lane in an attempt to stop the kid. It looks like the kid tried to beat the rolling road block by passing on the inside shoulder.... which is not as wide as the outside shoulder. So he likely put his tire on the grass and slid into the median, only to hit the guard rail (THANK GOD HE DID) then got thrown into the air and hit the column (guessing 24 feet in the air.)

After years of playing Burnout games, the amount of dust and smoke in actual car crashes just irritates me because I can't see anything. Then I get irritated that I'm irritated that real life isn't like a video game, because I don't want to be one of those guys.
But yeah, I agree with SpecialKO... at what point did passing a cop at 100 mph by driving onto the median (near an overpass no less) seem like anything other than suicidal idiocy? You don't pass by the cops. You don't run from the cops. You don't talk to the cops. You don't fuck with the cops. You pretty much don't (verb) (preposition) the cops.

I hope no one else was injured along the way.
I'd bet dollars to donuts that he was texting while driving, looked up, saw the cop moving slow, and yanked the wheel to put the car on the shoulder to prevent rear-ending the cop.
I saw a guy nearly flip his pickup truck on Sunday doing that...if he'd have yanked the wheel harder I bet he would have instead of just NEARLY flipping it. The unbelievable part is that 5 minutes later, I pass the guy and look over, and he's got his phone against his steering wheel, texting away again. I can just imagine his text "LOL OMG! u wont believe! I almost died! ROFL!" Fucking idiot deserves to wreck..hopefully he won't take anyone else out when he does.

People like this should have their license to life revoked.
If there were sand barrels to crash into I could understand all that dirt and dust, but he created an abnormally large cloud of debris. I don't think it all came from the ground - I wonder if he ruptured his fuel tank or coolant system as he went over the guard rail.
But he certainly painted the top three feet of that column black!

that was you?? I lol'd!
The photos show clear pictures of two of the three chunks of car that were left after the crash. Apparently the driver was ejected during the crash and landed away from it.
From the pictures of the remains of the vehicle it's simply astounding that he lived at all, though I would be surprised if he survives.

Sadly that works against the "Dude Factor" - Trauma doctors find that the less societal worth a person has, the harder to kill they are. A charity-supporting pillar of the community will sneeze, hit his head in the bathroom, and die before someone finds him. A meth dealer busted out of prison who crashes a fuel tanker into the local kindergarten will survive being shot, stabbed, blown up, beaten, electrocuted, and burned at the same time.
Come on Shego, we all know they are not reporting the real reason for the crash. You cut his brake lines didn't you... DIDN'T YOU!? D: What did he do to deserve such a fate!
Anyways that kid is one lucky bastard for flying out of the car, it was what saved him in the end, not getting smashed into ground beef as the car broke and much of it collapsed into itself.

Fixed that for you!
According to the follow-up story, he had been arrested for alcohol and drug possession earlier that morning and released less than an hour before the crash. A girl was with him when he was arrested and released to the custody of her father. She would've been in the passenger seat. And likely dead.

If that is all true, then this kid should never ever ever EVER drive again.

Nonsense. If Shego was responsible, the kid wouldn't be alive afterwards.

Bubble has a REALLY good point.

No, the opposite is true. Only Shego can pull off a crash of this magnitude without killing the kid.
She likes to play with her toys, you see...
Just to clarify... just because the camera is on doesn't mean that the lights are on... it appears that said-named knucklehead wasn't paying attention, swerved to avoid the rear-end of the cop, and went ballistic. Damned shame about the car, and glad noone else was hurt. Pity he didn't take himself out, but I hope he learns his valuable lesson here.
