Was a tragic accident it seems.
Also, no charges were filed, which is a pretty big hint as to whose fault it really was.

Didn't say it was the m235i driver's fault. That's to be determined
But it just isn't the right car for any 20-year-old with a problematic driving history. I mentioned Ferraris of 25-30 years ago because this story reminded me of a guy I went to high school with. He used to drive his dad's Ferrari, a 308 gts IIRC. A lot of us were pretty impressed... wow, a high school kid driving a Ferrari, right? And yet when he crashed it, no one was really surprised. It like, of course he crashed it, a high school kid driving a Ferrari... what were they thinking?! And yet truth is that a late '80s Ferrari is, by any performance metric, a slouch compared to a '16 m235i. |
My friend had a race spec M3 for his first car. Never hurt anyone but got a ticket for doing 165 in a 65. Kids do stupid shit! When I got a ticket in my mother's Passat doing 85 in a 65 dad's response was "didn't know the car could go that fast, guess you won't be driving that one anymore."
