Look at the picture above and you can see where this driver broke through the guardrail, on the right side of the culvert, where the people are standing on the road, pointing. The pick-up was traveling about 75 mph from right to left when it crashed through the guardrail. It flipped end-over-end, bounced off and across the culvert outlet and landed right side up on the left side of the culvert, facing the opposite direction from which the driver was traveling. The 22-year-old driver and his 18-year-old passenger were unhurt except for minor cuts and bruises.
Just outside Flagstaff , AZ on U.S. Hwy 100.
Now look at the second picture below...

One of things I'm noticing is the medics standing on the cliff side of the truck, literally right on the lip, like it's all good. They definitely would have some type of harness/equipment on.
What I'm seeing, is the accident itself is real, but the cliff/dropoff has been edited in. If you look at the second pic, the edge of the cliff on the very right has that 'blue-screen' effect where a person on a blue-screen on tv is placed in front of a background, and you get that sort of hazy look at the edge.

One more thing... Look at the bush that was edited in (IMO) on the left rear of the pick. It's there in the first pic (and looks edited in IMO), but it's gone in the second: (highlighted)

I am also shocked that they did not have some sort of equipment on.At least attached to the guard rail or something.
Those pictures are amazing!

lucky .....very lucky. Think of what that would do to you mentally to stand there and look at the cliff you almost plumeted over. Definately going to take a new outlook on life thats for sure.
