CAUGHT ON VIDEO: Watch as a vehicle flips multiple times and goes airborne on the Garden State Parkway this morning.
The accident happened around 9:30 AM at approximately mile marker 119 northbound.
Watch as the driver of the vehicle is helped out of the car by roadside workers – who were narrowly missed during the accident.
An Auto Accident lawyer says: “The GSP vehicle flip video is alarming. Reckless driving causes severe injuries like whiplash, broken bones, and brain or spinal cord damage. Victims may face high medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing rehab costs that should be addressed.”
“Based on preliminary investigation, a Toyota passenger vehicle was traveling northbound on the GSP,” NJSP said. “In the area of milepost 118.9, the driver of the Toyota lost directional control, collided with multiple vehicles, ran off the roadway to the right, struck the guardrail, and struck a construction truck on the right shoulder before subsequently going airborne and overturning multiple times.”
“The driver sustained moderate injuries and was transported to an area hospital,” police said.
UPDATE: Video now with slow motion and shows driver walking out.
The video has since gone viral, and requests to publish have been coming in from TV Channels and websites around the nation.

Appropriate song playing in background
Btw no doubt the driver was on a cell phone
Maybe he was just driving too quick and lost control? Perhaps he was carjacking and was battling the miscreants?
No need for cell phone cause.
Just watch [first few seconds of video] how he tried to pass car on the right, utilizing the shoulder !
There’s a bus full of Torah that travels the Garden State parkway Monday through Thursday packed with the Guardians of the Garden State.
That bus ran this morning as a protection to all the drivers on that road.
TORAH PROTECTS!

i want to see him walk out!
He did walk out!
I was driving a few cars behind when this happened, he was speeding like I’ve never seen before, drove between two lanes trying to pass cars, while side swiping the cars on both sides. Then he went on the shoulder. Then this. Honestly was terrifying.
NASCAR came to the GSP!
I drove by it after 11 am on my way to Boro Park and it was all cleaned up.
From the videos, damage to the parkways shoulder, weight of the vehicle, damage to the vehicle investigators can figure out the exact speed the vehicle was doing , I bet you it was way over 100 mph.
Do drug addicts drive like that when they hadn’t had their drugs and they are rushing to buy it? Or do drug addicts drive like that after they get high on drugs?
Or both?
What song is that?
Good thing they had the barrier truck there!
Maybe on medications should not be driving either
Maybe not on medications & should not be driving. Impound the vehicles of dangerous driver’s. It’s the only wayay.
