Look at the picture above 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.

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

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

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

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

Now look at the second picture below...

that would suck if the passenger survived that crash, was dazed and opened the door, then fell. They are incredibly lucky
 
Photoshopped. Look at the image of the white truck in both pictures (they're the same), and then back at everything else.
 
no its real, the pic has is not in aspect ratio, they narrowed it and made it taller, probably to fit in the article better. but everything is compressed, it looks less due to the angle of the truck
 
first picture is taken from behind the truck and the second one is more square to side of the truck. its two different angles. i thought the same at first though.
 
Just trying to find US hgwy 100 outside Flagstaff Az on google maps with Sat image, and nope.... the is i17, i40, hghwy 180 and hghwy 89A...

Im calling Shop until someone show's me a Google earth image of this location......

 
rt. 59 according to the cnn and snopes articles above. also the snopes one has your google view.

My question is, why the hell aren't those rescue workers roped in?????
 
Holy Shit baws....

And yes - why didn't they secure the truck and rope the rescue workers up? da fuck.... doesn't look the most stable of rock either....
 
the huge drop is actually there. I just checked on google earth
street view of where the truck would have gone off:

and the zoomed out view. the highest part thats dark is where the accident happened:

whether it's shopped or not, the idea of something like that happening is ridiculous.
reminds me of the time i was tree planting and a shortbus full of millions of planters piled with gear and all that veered into a pond and started to roll onto its side but got snagged on the edge of the road. thank god, cause if the thing had actually flipped over onto the side / roof there would have been a clusterfuck of people underwater, scrambling like cockroaches to get out..
 
if you look at everything else youll notice that the whole image is "squished" and its all like that just not as noticable.
