Hardly surprising when the space they once occupied is now being filled by a concrete crash barrier!

looks pretty horrible.
I can't quite make out what has happened - has the ferrari gone up a ramp and impaled on a barrier?

[Scantily]

That is horrifying, they must have been travelling at serious warp speeds to do that.

to quote my wife on this one... fking hell.

Shocking and very sad.

Take it easy out there chaps.

Up the reservation and collected a lamp post by the look of it.

is it a freak accident or was he just going too fast?? nothing there to suggest it was a freak accident - bloody hell though, the car is literally split in two!

It's a freak accident because of the way the car hit the barrier. A few metres either side and the barrier wouldn't have gone through the centre of the car.

That's horrible!

Very sad reading the passenger was a 15yr old wanting to go out in a Ferrari!

Not a freak accident then...it hit a barrier...if a meteor had fallen from the sky, hit him on the head and then caused him to crash, then it'd be a freak accident...

Bloody hell, that is an horrific crash.

Semantics.

The accident would have occurred but the occupants would have possibly had a better chance of survival. It would then not have been referred to as a freak accident.

That's some crash.

[dudleybloke]

nasty.

What freak accident?
I wasn't there but i'm going to take a wild guess the car was attempting time travel.
Unfortunatly resulting in the death of a 15 year old kid and the driver.

It is abit disgusting that the accident happened less that 24 hours ago and the photos are already all over the internet for people a gawp at.

"A brutal Ferrari F430 accident happened last night when a Ferrari F430 lost control on the E42 motorway at high speed. The Ferrari slammed into the central reservation and split into two pieces up to the cockpit. It's one of the worst accidents we've seen recently and unfortunately, both driver and passenger died.
The accident happened at around 9pm last night between Francorchamps and Sart. The occupants were probably leaving Spa Francorchamps after a day of racing. We're told that the fifteen year old passenger was the son of the driver's colleague who asked for a ride at the Formula 1 qualifying event yesterday. The driver was a 63-year-old man from Saint-Ghislain."
