A Reddit user was driving a truck on a Michigan highway when they suddenly captured footage of a vehicle flying through the air.
The driver, with the username StormCamperTTV, posted the shocking video on two subreddits Thursday.
The original poster (OP) did not clarify where he took the video, but more than one commenter claimed that the driver was traveling on I-75 in Auburn Hills.
StormCamperTTV did not reveal any other details about the driver of the flying vehicle or if they needed medical attention after the airborne event.
However, a Reddit user who calls themselves GoldenGarbear claimed they witnessed the incident.
GoldenGarbear wrote in their first comment that they ‘passed the aftermath yesterday’ but still needed more information on what occurred.
‘I couldn’t see all of it but I was getting off at that exit and you could see the tracks in the grass going up the hill and the guard rail was pretty mangled,’ they wrote.
‘The police had also blocked off the on-ramps, and there were a bunch of emergency vehicles around.’
The user added that they were only able to see the launch side but spoke with a law enforcement officer later.
‘I just spoke with the officer at the school I work at, and apparently, the lady was conscious and responsive. No sign of intoxication or a medical cause of the crash,’ they wrote Friday morning.
The driver posted the Reddit video just one month after another Michigan car went airborne with near-death results.
An alleged drunk driver crashed her truck off a riverbank with her daughter and her friends in Newport, Michigan, on May 5.
The driver had lost control of the vehicle after she sped down a street near Superior Avenue and North Avenue.
The crash was captured on a neighbor’s surveillance camera, which showed the driver’s pickup truck being airborne before landing in a river.
Neighbors immediately ran outside to help the driver and the other crash victims.
All three of them were removed from the vehicle and taken to the hospital.
‘These are 15 mph streets, so she was very reckless. Very reckless with her child and other people’s children in the car,’ said neighbor Bobbi Dansard.
‘No mother in her right state of mind would drive like that with children in the car or without children in the car, especially out here. It was pretty traumatic for everybody involved.’
Most of the Reddit commenters who watched the recent video on the r/Unexpected subreddit did not accuse the airborne driver of being intoxicated.
Most commenters instead joked about the incident and at least two Reddit users compared it to characters in films and television shows.
‘Another couple seconds faster and you could have caught them with the trailer, blues brothers style,’ a commenter wrote on the post yesterday.
One person compared the airborne driver to a character from The A-Team and a driver on Nitro Circus.
Other users who commented on the video that was posted on the r/dashcamgifs subreddit compared him to a driver in The Dukes of Hazzard and one person partially praised the airborne driver.
‘That is actually incredible… Definitely didn’t stick the landing though. What a shame,’ a commenter wrote last night.
