Stupid ass, probably doted on that Ferrari, but apparently didn’t want to be passed and drove right into some people.

the wreckage is pretty useess for any ideas about how it happened. It does appear the front of the F is less damaged, so it might follow that it slid sideways into the other car or cars.

Better he should have autocrossed his F. ONce you do that racing on the roads just does not appeal.

Smile To Be Honest......

Everyone knows Prius' are hated, no wonder he didn't want to get passed by one .

I find it humorous the CHP thinks *maybe* excess speed was involved ~ for sure those Ferrari's are unsafe in any crash, right ? ?RIGHT? .

Sadly this is nothing new, fatal crashes involving super cars is a monthly thing on P.C.H. near Malibu .

The
Ferrari must meet the safety laws but safety laws are not designed for 200 mph crashes.
