Ferrari F360 CS Crash in OC - 1 Dead

Anyone heard yet!!!???

See abc7.com for video. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/video

The guy says its a 599 GTB but clearly he doesn't know his cars. The Ferrari's hazards are still on

Maybe he was racing someone...

Anyone know him/heard about this? Very sad to see...

More on the story, says he was racing a Porsche... they don't know what kind of Porsche. It's what I figured seeing his hazards were on... Guy in Porsche was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter...

RIP,
Yeah, the name of the guy driving the Ferrari has not been released.

The guy driving the Porsche (1977 wtf? Like a old Porsche would come close to a F360 ), was identified as Jeffrey Kirby. His passenger, Lynn Marie Nobozny was also arrested. A quick google search brought up (a) Jeffrey Kirby account on Facebook, but I'm not a registered user so I don't know if it's the same guy.

I check over a Ferrarichat.com and Lamborghini-talk.com and the story isn't posted there. It's going to be interesting to see the full details of the story unfold... wonder if he was a member at either of those sites.

I'm having lunch w/ a NP officer today. Let you all know if there's anything that can be told. I used to live there, was down there on Sunday, forgot how many exotics you can see just passing through town. Sad, for him and apparently a female in the car was hurt badly also.

wow... look at how the car was split in two, and how far the pieces landed... imagine if a car had been coming in the opposite direction where the ferrari apparently seemed to have skid across... sad to see...

What is it with these Ferraris'? Anyone else recall the Enzo that was also split in half, on PCH awhile back? Racing an SLR I think... If they aren't catching fire looking pretty at stoplights, they are torn in half hitting light poles.

Dumb.
survival of the fittest.

this sort of thing is going to happen more often, especially with cars like the new ZR1.

Just because you can buy it doesn't mean you can drive it.... with more High HP cars on the road you're going to see more of this.

Don't find it sad. Sad would be school shooting in Germany or murders in Alabama.

At least he hit a lamp pole rather than another car.

It looked like he had a bright future ahead of him. What a waste.
