So.....I'm thinking there was a picture painted on the barrier he was speeding towards?

A painting of an arrow straight road?

Probably a picture of a tunnel, painted by a coyote.

My guess is two pedals - one foot. (listen to the engine and you can hear it still under power when he's locked up the front)

Had he been left foot braking... :-)

Nasty wreck. I would guess stuck throttle but that car may be fly by wire.

You can hear the driver lift off of the throttle just before the impact. He just locked up the fronts reeeeally badly; can see the wheels turn but no direction change......and of course the car ends up on the navvie's side!

Reminds me of the time I was in Romania and asked for some bread in French and the waiter asked me,in english-ish, if I wanted a doctor.

Porsche - there is no substitute! Damn it!

The dude needs to learn to drive a Porsche: they understeer unless you steer with the throttle. Maybe he is used to driving one of those Subaru mommymobile, shit can, grocery getters.

maybe he's just another of the thousands of p[orsche fans which think since they spent the money to buy the car then they are something special, you know, like the Dutch guy driving in the exhibition event ar WRC Germany who couldn't control himself and killed himself and his co-driver..

Maybe they're just rich----and stupid. It happens.

There's a lot of other videos of the guy on YouTube. Haven't had time to peek at any of them yet.

Maybe he just got all ate up with the dumbass (happens, right?) and it happened to be in a very photogenic way in from of someone with a video camera...
