SUGARCREEK TWP., Montgomery Co. (WDTN) – The cruiser cam video that captured a horrific single car crash on Interstate 675 in Beavercreek, Ohio Aug. 23 has gone viral on the internet.

Brennan S. Eden, 19, of Mason, Ohio, lost control of his car and slammed into the concrete pillar of a bridge south of Indian Ripple Road about 7:15 a.m.

The force of the crash broke the car into three pieces and Brennan was ejected.

Witnesses said moments before the crash, Brennan was passing other drivers at speeds of at least 100 mph. He crashed when he drove off the left side of the roadway while passing a Sugarcreek Twp. police car. The crash was caught on that officer’s cruiser camera.

"He went down into the median, into the grass, hit the guardrail, went airborne and the car hit the center post of the bridge and literally exploded into three main pieces," said witness Mark Riley.

Police said Brennan was alert and conscious after the crash and was flown to Miami Valley Hospital by Careflight where he was last listed in critical condition.

"He is very lucky to still be alive at this point," said Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Marty Fellure. "You can see behind me the impact he took and where he got ejected and landed, he’s a very fortunate man right now."

Fellure said they are still investigating the crash trying to determine Eden’s speed and why he was passing cars on the berm.

The crash shut down the southbound lanes for nearly six hours.

Note from the Internet:

I was Executive Director of the Institute for Burn Medicine for San Diego and Imperial Counties when we lived in California .  Besides raising the money to establish a Burn Treatment Center at the University Hospital there, I conducted extensive public education campaigns in Burn Prevention.

A friend recently sent me the attached short video – and like an old  fire horse, I heard the bell ring and am rushing to send this excellent prevention piece to each of you.  It is well worth watching!  And it could save your life. 

This is very stunning – please read first and then watch the very short clip. 

I never realized that a wet dishcloth can be a one size fits all lid to cover a fire in a pan! 

This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to deal with a common kitchen fire …..oil in a frying pan.  Read the following  introduction, then watch the show.  It’s a real eye opener!
 
At the Fire Fighting Training school they would demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field.  An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a 10-foot pole to toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students.  The water, being heavier  than oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated.

The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out.  On the  open field, it became a thirty foot high fireball that resembled a nuclear  blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room.  Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup of either creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite. 

This is a powerful message—-watch the video and don’t forget what you see.
