BEAVERCREEK, Ohio - A man is recovering after his car went airborne in a high-speed crash Monday morning.

The wreck, caught on police dash-cam video, happened around 7:15 a.m. on Interstate 675 in Beavercreek, Ohio. Click the media player to the left to watch the video.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says 19-year-old Brennan Eden of Mason, Ohio was driving a 1985 Pontiac Firebird southbound on I-675 when he drove off the left side of the roadway.

Police say Eden was driving at speeds of up to 100 mph when he struck a culvert, which launched his Firebird into the air. Eden's car traveled through the air until it struck an overpass. The Firebird shattered into many pieces due to the major impact of the crash. Eden was ejected and came to rest on the right berm of southbound I-675.

Eden suffered serious injuries and was transported from the scene by a medical helicopter.

The crash is being investigated by the Xenia Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Southbound lanes were shut down for five hours while northbound I-675 was restricted to two lanes for that time.

The crash is still under investigation. Speed, alcohol and seat belt usage have not yet been determined.
