Stop motion it around 00:35 or so and you can see he has a passenger in the front seat.....I doubt the driver guy survived at all. Full impact to the drivers front door.....The woman looks in at the drive and says "Nope...Not going there...."....RIP!

Wow, how could anyone walk away from that one? Violent is an understatement.

Just watched it again. If you pause it, yep, there are two people in the car. Looks like the passenger survived. I seriously doubt the driver made it.

These are the types of video's that we need to show our teenage drivers, to show them what happens when stupidity is used. That accident was totally avoidable. The result of an A-Hole driver.

Sad that someone has to pay the ultimate price for stupidity.
Wish I could say I never did anything stupid when I was younger.

I read on another site somewhere the passenger was just fine. I've since lost the link.

That is a crazy accident and I am glad he survived.

By the way, cutting between vehicles like he tired is one of my pet peeves! I see it all the time (but more successfully) on I-40.
