Something tells me he was going a significant multiple of the posted speed limit. You can see the shattered phone/power pole in the foreground of the first picture--and it still carried enough momentum to fly up into the fencing. That car had to be really flying.

In the top picture to the left of the girl on the phone is a bush. It was its fault.

Makes me think of that other odd Ferrari crash you posted about before.

One question comes to mind. How does a CHP officer (if in fact it was an off-duty CHP officer driving) afford a Ferrari Testarossa? The insurance alone must cost a fortune!

RE: Your pic.

There must have been somebody important in the vehicle, note the two people saluting.

That pile of car that was totaled due to intended acceleration is still probably worth 30K.

They've posted an update at your link identifying the victims.

CHP Officer Derek Midollo, 39, and his passenger, David Bjorklund, in his 30s, died at the scene, CHP Officer Leland Tang said.
