A sobering moment indeed. It looks like they hit a tree sideways at a very high speed and it cut the car in half. Fuel lines were severed and gas just poured out of the lines. No chance.

I'm shattered to see that a car can go fast nnuff to chop the car and kill the occupants "in a parking lot". Any of my cars need a highway long stretch to gain that much speed

When will the authorities be enforcing a "PILOT" license requirement to be allowed to drive those super sport cars exactly? I bet the ministers are already looking at ways to get this policy revised soon. It's sad.... I see plenty of smashed up supercars here in yards or leveled. Some are pretty badly twisted, its often traumatizing

Very Sad Indeed. Saw this posted on Rennlist last night, they're already up to 9 pages of posts dissecting the potential cause (pretty simple IMO; 600 plus hp in a 3000 lb. car and lack of driving talent / judgement), couple of guys even got into a heated debate where the mod had to intervene.

Anyone who's seen the pics of the car can easily tell it was MOVING, what a shame. RIP.
