120 feet "through" the air, not into it. Into implies it went 120 feet up.

Glad to see the Altima living up to the meme. Glad it replaced the Jetta for the choice of people who can't drive and yet do so faster than everyone else.

What is it about a couple of drivers on I-75 that either want to fly through the air like “them Duke boys”  (GA) or try to ram through a sound barrier (OH)?  Nothing like seeing a car land next to you or having an open look at the freeway on the other side of the wall with a dislodged engine on fire in your yard.  :spin:

I think the Michael King, who reported on this crash, used to post on MTR, back in the day.
