Driver cut in half, launched from his SUV

A driver, in Seminole County Florida, of a sport utility vehicle that flipped nearly 12 times was cut in half after he was launched into the air and landed in the windshield of a moving SUV.
Witnesses said the driver somehow lost control of his SUV on I-4, swerved and then caused a five-car crash. The driver was thrown high into the air and into oncoming traffic. He crashed through the windshield of a moving vehicle.

"It was the worst thing I have ever seen in my life," witness Gary Salvatore said. "They guy flew over the guardrail. He got ejected out of the truck like a missile. All I saw was arms flaring in the air and he just hit the ground. To see that poor guy flying in the air like that, it was a nightmare."

"It was unreal," witness Sharon Oegerle said. "It was something you don't expect to see in real life." Police said the victim was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
"Some troopers are saying this is the worst accident they have ever seen," Local 6 reporter Erik von Ancken said. A passenger in the SUV was transported to a local hospital and is expected to survive, Local 6 News reported.
