Even more crazy that the guy is an actual race driver and it seems that he may have been the cause of the accident.

Wow. From the wheel, I'd suggest a 360.
First shot and second shot look there's been a fire in between though, oddly?!
'Broke its back'? Seen plenty of pictures of crashed Ferrari's where the car has split from the bulkhead back.First shot and second shot look there's been a fire in between though, oddly?!
First shot looks like the front end (presumably top cut off to get them out?), second looks like the back.
on top of that as most of it has burnt / melted away, just leaving suspension bits and melted alloy, so very likely a 360ZOLLAR said:

Rough translation.
Motorsport ace Marin Colak was seriously hurt while his 20 year old passenger (I.O) was killed in an automobile accident that occurred around 12.15 on the A6 motorway near Bosiljevo towards Rijeka. Corlak was driving his Ferrari and came off the motorway. He received medical help at the scene before being transferred to Karlovac hospital.
Colak who was not wearing his seat belt was thrown clear from the vehicle while his passenger who had been wearing her belt was trapped in the burning vehicle.
No official cause has been made but reports indicate Colak "came into contact" with a Nissan. Skidmarks on the road indicate Colak breaking before driving off the motorway on a grass area another 100 meters after which it caught fire. The Ferrari is unrecognisable due to the fire damage which was brought under control by the fire brigade. Witnesses are being asked to come forward.
Unofficially police suspect the accident occured due to Colak racing the Nissan with a Zagreb registered number plate, the Nissan stopped on the hard shoulder another 100 or so yards down the motorway.
