The crash happened around 2:30 a.m. on Hackberry Road.(from KSAT-12)
According to police, the driver was going more than 90 mphour before he reached a dead end at Hackberry and Interstate 35.
Officers said that's when the car hit the curb, flew over the center median of the interstate, a guardrail, three lanes of traffic and an access road.
The car finally came to a stop after it hit an embankment and rolled several times, police said.
I'm glad no one else was hurt, and I certainly hope those two pull through and straighten out their lives. And then I hope they apply for jobs as stunt drivers.
Take a look at this.
That's IH-35, and the orange marked bits are where Hackberry Street dead-ends onto the access road of the highway. (Yes, that's a school bus on the bottom access road, there.)
Now picture a car hitting that embankment so hard it clears the lanes of traffic.
Wow. Ninety miles an hour will do that, I suppose.

I guess this had to have started farther west than we live, 'cause I didn't hear it. I've been awoken by street races before, though.
And I wonder if it's a coincidence that the neighbors haven't had their usual visitors today.
I wish I could've seen that from a safe distance.
Can you imagine being one of the few people traveling down the highway at that time of night and seeing a car sailing overhead?
It might be enough to make one change their sobriety status.

I would imagine that by the time that maneuver was complete, and the car came to a stop on the other side of the highway, sobriety had ensued!
