Authorities with the California Highway Patrol are investigating a wild crash on the freeway that sent a car and its 29-year-old driver careening into an incredibly dangerous mid-air spin before it came crashing back down on the road.  The crash, which was captured by the dash-cam of a trailing Tesla, occurred March 23 in the eastbound lanes of the 118 Freeway, near De Soto Avenue in Chatsworth.  Video of the terrifying crash shows traffic moving along the 118 Freeway when a dark-colored Kia approaches a Chevrolet pickup that had just transitioned into the middle lane.
