4th Gen Silver or Pewter Camaro crash last night Not sure if the guy is up here who ran into the median going North on 75 just outside of Atlanta, but hope he is OK.
He came screaming up on me well over 100mph ( I was in my little toyota just putting along on the way home from the airport ) so you can be sure I wasn't racing anything but snails.
He unfortunately was trying to pass everyone slicing in and out way behind me, then not really sure but must have cut to hard trying to slice around the cars to the sides of me and just started spining out and then straight into the median ( concrete one ) full speed. I was in the lane 2, lane 1 had a car to the front side ( nowhere to go ) and the car directly beside me in lane 3 ( again nowhere for him to go ). Lane 4 was the HOV with cars. There was lots of traffic everywhere. I couldn't stop and see if he was ok since traffic was heavy and I would have had to cut over to the median and walk back ( extremely not safe in Atlanta traffic ). There was a cop maybe 1/4-1/2 mile up the road with someone pulled over looking back towards what happened.
Don't think he was racing, but all I could see in my mirror was the headlights coming up really fast, then zig zagging and lost control.
Tried checking the apj and local news online but could not find anything to see if he was ok.

Right before the 285 loop, so itp.
it was about 11:30p ( roughly ).
Wish the local news around here actually reported at least something. Up in Charlotte and back in Ohio at least you could see the police reports from the previous night online.

I was on my way to work around 1245am Saturday and saw that car on a flatbed in the Acworth area on 41. Looked pretty badly bent up. Front end took direct hit. Have not heard any details.

I saw that on the way back from atlanta right after it happened, It was still up against the wall and it tore the front end up pretty good. I have't heard anything yet either so i am assumeing he is ok. I am sure if it was too bad we would have heard by now, hopefully...
