I was in Newcomb’s when they arrived to call 911...
That guy is VERY lucky to be alive.
What an idiot. A Subaru Forester is NOT a sports car, even with a souped up muffler in a tunnel. Hope he learned to stay off the mountain roads.
“I guess I got too comfortable at the wrong moment”
I haven’t told anyone this, not hubby or the kid, but I did that exact same thing the other day on my way to work.
To borrow a phrase from Juan Williams, I came very near to getting “smooshed” between 2 tractor trailers on my lovely commute at a part of the road where you just lose a lane with no warning. But I do know that, so that fault would have been mine.
But, I hit the brakes and I was OK.
Praise Jesus!
Thanks for letting me share.
Jerk could have killed someone. He was more interested in making a video than driving.
aarrgghh That sent my heart into my throat. I know what this guy’s talking about, but not like this. This is one of those moments when you KNOW that there is a God (if you didn’t before) and that He DEFINITELY has a plan for you, otherwise you would most surely be dead. And in the most sickeningly horrible way.
People should save/ print this for their teenagers. And for themselves, in case they ever buy a sports car (or a dirt bike)- because it is an almost irresistible temptation.
Great. Now I can think about the times I came close to the edge on Mt Baldy Rd. Instead of sleeping tonight.
Another Subaru commercial.
“He lived.”
Dude...Be careful when you drive Angeles Crest Highway!
Looks like there was a yellow warning sign visible at 52 seconds.
Other than that, who else has had dreams driving over a ledge and then waking up relieved?
Also, the dude is so lucky his car landed where it did.
OK, I’ll be the first to say it. This looks like he did it on purpose.

I can’t count the number of times I have been thru there. In 1972 I too had a nasty wreck near there, but didn’t go over the side.
‘Under a big W...’
I’m glad he admits to driving like a dumbass.
Too many people speed on Angeles Crest Highway and get in wrecks. Then they hire some sleazbag lawyer to sue the taxpayers, claiming the was responsible for their injuries.
Witnessed a fatal version of this this last summer, a long 1/3 mile tumble down a Utah mountain. Paramedics took one look and packed up their gear.
