Wondered if anyone else had seen this last night.

I was on my way back in a taxi last night (just after midnight), traffic was awful as the police had closed the fiveways tunnel and part of Hagley Rd approaching the island.

Looked like a 997 or what was left of it had lost it in the wet.

Didn't look like any other car involved but looked like it had hit the central reservation and taken out 4-5 sections as it had spun along it.

Hope everyone was ok, just wondered if it was anyone on here. Looked a nice car. -_-

That tunnel seems to be a favourite for blasting through, seen a few gallardos booting it through there (making a glorious sound) before turning around, going back down broad street and doing it all again. Hope everyone was ok, sounds like a nasty accident

It's a dead straight dual carriageway though. Wondered if it was a traction control off in the damp, 'WATCH THIS' moment.

Saw the whole thing, guy spun in the wet and did 4 x 360's, I was walking down Hagley road at the time and the rear wheel of the Porsch detached and missed me by about a foot, both driver and pasenger escaped with minor injuries, car tho was totalled.
Think all 3 of us are lucky to be alive.

A real WTF moment
