Facebook posts - most seem completely unsympathetic but there are some who say otherwise.

If my daughter or son was in the oncoming lane and got taken out by a toss like this, the loss of a brain and two legs would have only been a good start.

I can't even think about how people can can reason about this.

It's like walking into a mall with a gun and shooting randomly,the fact that you did not hit someone does not lessen the deed.

I would charge the lot with attempted murder. Attempted Dolus eventualis, even if no one died.

Seems like there are lot's of rumours, but no definitive answer on whether he is brain dead. I for one hope that he can fully recover (amputations aside) if that is what is best for him.

I support the law taking it's course once he has recovered, in whatever form is deemed necessary.

But, unlike many of the quite unbelievable posts on here, I hope that he does not suffer more than he already has.

recovering from amputation is no big deal - brain damage, not going to happen.
if in fact there is significant brain damage, then carrying out a double amputation amounts to little more than rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic

That BMW made 500kw someone said there. According to those posts his father owns multiple street cars and might even have fueled the interest or bought the M3.

The accident was because he bought cheap tyres on Sunday or ran with his old worn tyres if he didn't buy the tyres. The guy selling him the tyres posted the whatsap convo. In there he clearly said he had a race.

In the vids you see the rear left Tyre pop on lane change. He then lost control at 290km/h. The bike was going 330km/h at limiter.

No matter how stupid and irresponsible to others, he got young kids and wife 2 months pregnant with third kid it seems. I can only imagine the grief they go through and for them I feel very sad..

Nobody should have to take this card in life as numerous innocent lives are impacted here. Kids, wife, parents etc etc

Also this won't stop others from racing this weekend. Nobody won in this race.

Why do you feel sad for his wife? She knew his activities and willingly married and had kids with such an irresponsible man.

The kids yeah as you can't choose your parents.

Guys, I think the mother gave a decent interview.

Expecting someone in her (I'm assuming here) 50's to know why her son was driving an M3 F80, is a bit harsh. Let's leave the religious fanaticism out of it for a second.

A Muslim guy told me the other that if you grab any gangster in Pollsmoor and ask him his religious affiliation...

OK, right, so most gangsters in Pollsmoor are Muslim, therefore Muslims...

Where did you go to school?

His wife and father were on the bridge but his mother didn't know? Yeah right.

People in their 50s aren't senile. They can connect two and two just as well as a person in their 20s/30s.

I'm not hearing any limiters on that bike. I'm calling bs on the 330 and the 290 speeds.

Also think it's BS. How can anyone tell what the BMW was doing ? Unless they can get data from the car.

I will spell it out.

I used Muslim as an example as this guy is Muslim.

All parents will claim that they are relegious and so are their criminal kids thus God or Allah or whoever will absolve them.
