Hospitalized, but amazingly he survived relatively intact, IIRC. No permanent or crippling harm (to body). I think he might have continued driving. But I don't think HASPORT fields an Insight anymore. They have a sweet CRX they race too. Or at least I have seen it run in the past.

Anyway, the driver, Brian Gillespie, was probably saved by his own determination to have the best safety features. Yes, we can see him moving at the end of the crash video. On that day, the Great Spaghetti Monster tested and blessed his example of safety and brilliance.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
