Fatal M5 wreck in Virginia

Mjolnir · 03-10-2013, 01:49 PM

Article describes it as 2008 BMW.

http://www.wtop.com/139/3245478/Arli...dead-2-injured

Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck estimates the 2008 BMW was going 80 to 90 mph as it crossed over the Key Bridge when it hit a curb. The vehicle rolled 4 or 5 times before finally coming to a stop near Lee Highway and Fort Myer Drive around 5 a.m.

ETA: This article has a link indicating it was an M5.

The one that crashed is an E60, that was an F10 in the vid.

Crazy, I live a mile away from that bridge. Too many exotic cars drive way too fast on that bridge showing off. Bridge is also a loophole, as you won't be caught speeding on it as it crosses two states/cities

Jamerikan · 03-10-2013, 09:46 PM

Man, very sad. Actually, it looks like I live a few miles away from him, but don't recall seeing the car.

GOLFFRR · 03-10-2013, 09:49 PM

Agreed. Sad someone had to die. Sadly this shows how inexperience and misconception of the power you hold under your hood can lead to some horrific results.

RIP to the driver and speedy recovery for the others.

All the best to the injured passengers. Fortunately there is some hope there.

So this sad thread about the E60 M5 that was in the M3 main forum got moved to the F10 M5 forum. Well, okay.
