FORT LAUDERDALE—
— After his new BMW sedan carried him Tuesday from a crash on the State Road 84 bridge onto an entrance ramp of I-595 about two stories below, survivor William Ciani said at first he didn't know if he was still alive.

"It was a weird feeling, tingly, adrenaline-pumping confusion," said the 23-year-old event coordinator, whose only pain as he was leaving Broward General Medical Center late Tuesday afternoon was skin burns from "the stupid airbag. I'm untouched."

I would say he probably speeding..

Bad Driver? Try making that split second decision to head straight on in hopes to land flat and absorb the impact of the impeding fall with the car vs trying to turn and avoid going over the rail like every other person caught in that deadly intersection. All of whom lost their life.

Hope he gets a Blackstone test to check his bearings.

OR you could just drive the speed limit and make the turn

Hmmmmmm....I'm not gonna say that since:
-you're more than a *bit* defensive about the situation,
-you're bringing back a thread that is over 6 yrs old,
-you show a more than average amount of knowledge about that intersection, one that most probably wouldn't, and finally
-you're in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, based on your profile info

that chances are you're the driver in that incident, Will Ciani, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttt I will say that Occam's razor is a pretty nifty principle

Oh....that and your username matches the name of the person in the accident.

Dude....seriously....how fast were you going?
