Take a look at the 1st picture and you can see where this driver broke through the guardrail, on the right side of the culvert, where the people are standing on the road, pointing. Then take a look at the culvert in the 2nd picture.

The pick-up was traveling about 75 mph from right to left when it crashed through the guard rail.

It flipped end-over-end bounced off and across the culvert outlet, and landed right side u p on the left side of the culvert, facing the opposite direction from which the driver was traveling.

The 22-year-old driver and his 18-year-old passenger were unhurt except for minor cuts and bruises.

Just outside Flagstaff , AZ on U.S. Hwy 100.

I've seen that one come through the email many times with many different stories and locations attributed to the accident. I often thought it was just a hoax done with a little photoshop wizardry. So this time I finally checked it out. The stories may vary a bit but it really IS TRUE.

Actually happened in December 2006 on Rt 59 near Hurricane City Utah. Bet that guys shorts were soiled when he realized what happened and how lucky he was.
