this is all I know, or have heard so far......

Carleton Place, ON - Sept 5, 2017 - I was keeping my eye on this driver in my rear view. He kept hitting the shoulder and straddling the centre line. I was starting to wonder if maybe he was impaired. I had contemplated calling the police and it was at this point that the driver left the roadway, entered the ditch and launched himself through the intersection, ultimately hitting the traffic light. The intersection is at McNeely and Stonewater in Carleton Place, Ontario. I pulled over, got out of the car and called 911. The driver was transported to hospital with head injuries. I exchanged information with the investigating officer and have provided them this footage.
I guess he swung his dash cam around to face rearward when he noticed the car weaving all over the road. Imagine being that driver seeing himself as he flies through the air on Utube!

I'm guessing inebriation as well, but to be fair, don't rule out that the fellow could have had some sort of medical condition.

Off the road to the right (torque steer or luck), off the embankment, across the highway (no tire tracks), under the guy wires, and into the center runoff ditch. I still maintain that I didn't have an accident, because I was not conscious at the time.
How the heck did that happen? ..............

That's a 2 channel dashcam. It's got a forward view and a rear view camera.
