Yeah not very good news. Kinda makes you think twice.

A salesman at work was at the scene and took photos. It did not look pretty.

According to the Telegraph it was a Liberty GT and it was dragging off another vehicle when he lost control. Sad for the driver and his family and friends. :(

Yeah this guy at work said that he had a run with this Lib and with another Magna VRX about 5 traffic lights before. Then they ran a orange and left him. He then saw them like 3 traffic lights after in a tree and with the magna nowhere to be seen (P-plater aswell).

This is shocking. Curious to find out how he lost control in a Lib.

doing 100 mph on suburban streets and you think just because its a liberty you cant loose it . thats the same mindset that got him killed , just lucky he didnt take innocent motorists or pedestrians with him

Hmmmmzzz....

I said i was curious to find out how he lost it in the lib. Like how did he swerve into the median strip (did he loose control on his own or the other car swerved into his lane, etc).

I love how ppl jump the gun to assume and be a hero about it.

Don't believe everything you read in the papers and in the media.

Like everything in life, the media is 90% bullshit and 10% fact.

Sad.

Makes me wonder that even with AWD, crumple zones and numerous airbags it still wan't enough to save him.
