Agreed - from reading the article, the rear of the car is now facing the opposite direction. Crazy!

oops i just reposted this..

i'm sure someone on this board knows them, or maybe they were even a member here.


this reminds me of the 4 kids who died in the e60m5 on the runway in Florida a few years ago.. very sad.

Oh man, really sobering story.. very sad to hear. Definitely one of my worst fears, we've all played around in our cars, just keep it in the back of your head.

Car wrapped around like that.. with the engine block, solid frame and solid metal, that's a scary site... another car would have literally shattered. I'm not expert but they were going extremely fast.

RIP to the boys and condolences to their families

From what I could see from a picture of the scene on another newspaper site there was nothing at all ahead of the bulkhead just the dangling bonnet.The engine/frame was underneath the car in pieces pushed into the floorpan.We all know accidents can happen but this ones on another level.

Wow...what a tragedy. Terrible for the families of these young men. Let this be a learning moment for all of us, no matter our age or level of experience...the next time that mustang or C63 pulls up next to you...I hope I'll have the wisdom to take a pass or at least, not take any unnecessary risks.

I imagine early in the morning the road woukd be slippery

People must respect these machines

My take on this is that the initial impact was at the front with a solid object at around 120-140mph then sliding along into the pole sideways with that impact turning the car facing the way it had came on its side. Notice the right hand bend there before the scene.
