Wild moment SUV goes MEGA airborne in front of truck driving on Michigan highway
A Reddit user was driving a truck on a Michigan highway when he 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) didn’t clarify where he shot the video, but more than one commenter claimed the driver was on I-75 in Auburn Hills.
StormCamperTTV did not reveal any other details about the driver of the flying vehicle or whether he required medical attention after the airborne event.
However, a Reddit user calling himself GoldenGarbear claimed to have witnessed the incident.

The person on Reddit with the username StormCamperTTV posted the video to two subreddits yesterday
GoldenGarbear wrote in their first comment that they “got through the aftermath yesterday” but still needed more information about what happened.
“I couldn’t see it all, but I got off at that exit and you could see the tracks in the grass going up the hill and the guardrail was pretty mangled,” they wrote.
“Police had also cordoned off the driveways and there were a number of emergency vehicles nearby.”
The user added that they could only see the launch side, but later spoke to a law enforcement official.
“I just spoke to 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 a month after another Michigan car went airborne with near-death results.
Several Reddit users who commented on both video posts claimed that the air car was driving around I-75 in Auburn Hills
An alleged drunk driver crashed her truck off a riverbank in Newport, Michigan, with her daughter and her friends on May 5.
The driver lost control of the vehicle after driving 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 becoming airborne before ending up in a river.
Neighbors immediately rushed outside to help the driver and the other crash victims.
All three were removed from the car and taken to 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 frame of mind would drive like that, with kids in the car or without kids in the car, especially here. It was quite traumatic for everyone involved.”
Most Reddit commenters who viewed the recent video on the subreddit r/Unexpected did not accuse the driver of being intoxicated.
Most commenters instead joked about the incident, and at least two Reddit users compared it to characters in movies and television shows.
Reddit users have not accused the plane driver of being drunk. More than one person on two subreddits compared the driver to characters from The Dukes of Hazzard
“A few more seconds faster and you could have caught them with the trailer, Blues Brothers style,” one commenter wrote on the post yesterday.
One person compared the airborne driver to a character from The A-Team and a driver from Nitro Circus.
Other users who commented on the video 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’s actually unbelievable… But it certainly didn’t survive the landing. What a shame,” one commenter wrote last night.
