three of my friends were driving to wisconsin to deliver some rims they sold on ebay. my friend had an rsx-s, along the way he got tired and let the passanger drive. From what i know they were doing like 140mph on the highway when they spotted like a huge pot hole. the driver swerved @140 to avoid it. they flipped 3 or 4 times and knocked down 3 light poles. The passanger who was the owner of the car fell out through the window(don't quote me on that), third guy was in the back with the rims. he broke both legs, one leg was so bad the bone came out through the skin. he had surgery and is still in the hospital. dont know what happened to the driver. any of you seen this, heard about it???

BUCKEL UP ITS THE LAW!!!! (in IL)

Well if it happened recently it couldn't have been on the 94 because I have been on that almost everyday for the past two weeks and have seen nothing from Chicago to Depere

It happened on I-90 like 4 days ago, that be on Monday. The owner told me it they were weaving in and out of traffic, then he dozed off while his friend was driving. The next time he woke up he was in the ambulance. The passanger did fall out through the window. The guy in the back is still in the hospital. No word about the driver.

So he was weaving in and out of traffic and he was driving while falling asleep, not a good combination as you can see.

Read the post again guys, all the info is in there.

The driver was not sleeping, the owner (passenger at the time) was dozing off. How he could do that w/ his friend driving 140 and weaving thru traffic, I dunno. Maybe he was really tired and that's why he let his friend drive in the first place.

Wreck happened at 140MPH.

I hope they make a good recovery. They are lucky to be alive if they wern't wearing seat belts.

140MPH and weaving thru traffic....

He should "theoretically" have his license removed from his possesion for a long time for doing something like that. There is probably at least 3-5 tickets, that I point out immediataly that would need to be written for him, the main one would be 140 in a 55/60 zone. Wow almost 80 over the speed limit. I hope he makes a recovery but I also hope that he remembers what put him in tha position that he is currently in.

I hope that some people learn from others mistakes.. never drive 140 on a highway, where there are potholes or animals that can run out in front..

I think it should just be never drive 140 on the highway, regardless of how contained or how well maintained the highway is.

No, the owner (Dave) was in the passanger seat and his friend (Greg) was driving. While on the road, it was almost end of rush hour, the traffic was moving fast about 65, 70 MPH.

After I spoke with Dave, he said they were out of the Chicago area traffic going about 85 when he started to dose off. The next time he woke up he was in the back of an ambulance. He also said there were times when Greg was reaching 140Mph. They are all ok, except the guy in the back (Paul), he ended up with two broken legs.
