That's what I thought. Don't know to laugh or to cry. See this guy showing off in town often. Against a Toyota.

What possible reason could there be to laugh at such a serious accident?

I didn't thought of the personal side. My sympathy to the driver's family. The driver died at the scene. The drunk on the smaller care t-boned him.

My reason for the laugh was purely personal. Saw this guy several time and have a brief parallel driving time with him, Speeding down the blvd. Was thinking about a Hyundai against the Ferrai. Wasn't thinking the human side.

I don't think Ferrari is known as a "safe" car.

That guy is either dead, or disabled. Sad.

Looks like a possibility of minor injuries in both cars. Both cabins look like they are ok for what they have been through.

Oh man, according to the news article the Hyundai driver is thought to have been at fault (possible DUI) and struck the Ferrari at 2:10 am. Enjoy life everyone, RIP.

If it were a 458, wouldn't it be on fire?

That's an unfortunate ending for sure.

It is sad no matter what was going on, I would hate to outlive my kids. None of mine are 21 yet, and none of them drive 458's but sad none the less.

Who in their right mind buys a 21 yr old kid a Ferrari.
