Fleeing suspect wedges Maserati und

A man fleeing the California Highway Patrol totaled his girlfriend’s Maserati SUV after he careened up an embankment and slammed into the underside of an overpass, wedging the vehicle under a freeway in Oakland

It was a miracle he didn’t get more injuries because the whole area where his head would have been caved in. He must have ducked or something

I'm willing to accept this solely due to the photograph in the referenced article. I'm shocked he actually survived that with minor injuries.
