SL got killed.. literally

So I was just having dinner with my dad, and he said he was on the highway driving when a sharp white SL (didn't know the exact model) flew by him like he was standing still. So he naturally got up next to it, because the SL slowed down, then he said the SL floored it and took off. My dad just kept cruising, and he said the next thing he saw was the georgous SL was ripped into pieces, and was in the median grass area.. He said he felt so bad because, come on snow white SL down the drain.. That SUCKS. He said it was so bad, that he probably thinks the driver is in horrible condition... Poor driver and SL..

I guess the silver lining with this story is that at least they picked the right car to do it in. If you're going to survive a bad crash a Mercedes will offer you just about the best chance of surviving it.
