Same story #2: Drunk driver did not believe in seat belts and as he went round the curve (West bound I-94 to North bound I-75) the door on his beater pick up opened and he fell out, Relative (to the last) minor road rash.
The truck went straight, over the curb, over the embankment and became airborn landing atop a car on I-75 below killing two people.... On this one I am the lucky ESO who got the 9-1-1 call from the AAA courtesy patrol driver who was behind the unlucky motorists upon who the pick up landed.. Poor man had to take a few days off to recover (I checked) (ESO = Emergency Services Operator or Police Dispatcher assigned to phones) .
Of course... When it comes to dumb/stupid, idiot drivers, In my job. you get to hear about/from many of them.
Sounds like this guy's life was saved by not wearing a belt in this case.
Had he used his seat belt I think we can assume he would have remained in the vehicle and not gone over the embankment.
