Yeah don't click that link if you have a weak constitution. Especialy if there are kids in the room.

Racing is very dangerious, not many people get to talk about mistakes made at 180mph.

I'd say more its a driver screw up. Lambo's don't just flip over, he probably hit the brush at 100+ and just started to roll.

What's for dinner?

Looks like a rich boy died. Some might say it was not driver error, but I would disagree. If it was the US the passenger's heirs would already have called the lawyers. I don't know how it goes in the Chech Republic, but I would be willing to bet that they are not as litigious as us.

Nope.
I don't think that gal was a passenger. There were two D.R.T. bodies there and only two seats in the car.

When I flew with an air ambulance service years ago, we were not allowed to state over the radios that there were dead bodies at the scene of an accident. It had to do with ambulance chasers and other idiots with scanners. So we used DRT instead. It stood for “Dead Right There.”

Also - Ectaco has a pretty good translation program. We use them, and Systran as well. For the most part most of the posted discussion is on blessing the dead (the RIP you get) and a few comments about the drivers inexperience and how it was sad the passenger was killed by it.

Id have to agree there.

The passenger was a Czech model. Other sites had her picture up. A beautiful girl and what a waste.
