Watch: Man critical after BMW smashes into lane divider in Cape Town

[animehero]

A few posts back said he was no longer critical,but under sedation so he didn't know he lost his legs.
Now his dead? what happened between then and now? Need some sources

Also it seems some people die shortly after limb amputation,so there's that I guess

 

[Alton Turner Blackwood]

Yeah, I can't find any source confirming that he's dead either

 

[TysonRoux]

Lol, there is literally wrong with the video posted as it seems to be a sanctioned event? They also never asked for sympathy?

It seems a lot of hate is taken up a notch because the guy seems to be more wealthy than most of us. Im sure if it was an old car, the focus would have only been how dumb he was to be racing and that it is his own fault (which it was).

But hey, if it makes you feel any better, you have legs, and he doesn't.

I'm guessing most rebuke the R's Hole for his total disregard for the safety of other road users and couldn't give a schyte for his financial status.

His wealth or dads wealth has bugger all to do with it... He is a retard who should not be allowed to Interact with human beings ever again

no idea where you get the idea anyone gives a rat's arse as to how wealthy he may or may not be.
what we do know is he went shopping for cheap tires for the race.

people are pissed because this crap has been going on for far too long - utter morons who are quite comfortable with the endangering the lives of innocent people for the sake of their ego.

this twat's family are on the path to hell with what they will have to deal with if he lives.
i suspect they may be asked for permission to terminate life support for this guy - let that thought marinade for a moment or two.
picture the family by the bedside as the ventilator and other equipment is shut down - the last of which will be the ecg machine with it's long beep as his heart stops.
all of this to satisfy one's ego

Unless you have proof, how can anyone believe anything you say

I can't say but it is first hand info.

Having almost being taken out by illegal drag racing in Kiliarny Gardens, I agree with you.
Minding my own business coming home late from work, driving down the same road I always drove down when suddenly... Luckily they missed but on another occasion, driving down the same road, someone wasn't so lucky.

It will happen !!AGAIN!! when it's a family in the car these idiots crash into.

 

[daveza]

Well that's just rude.

Not supposed to be funny but I laughed.

Only thing I can think of is that somebody close to the family is spreading false information deliberately. Who knows.

Edit:

Following the incident, mayoral committee member for safety and security JP Smith said the City's traffic services were unable to prosecute motorists on the strength of third-party evidence such as the video footage.

Didn't know that!

Edit: Either way I do hope he pulls through if he is still alive. Sure he screwed up big time but that doesn't mean he deserves to die not for something like this. If you are alive then speedy recover to you lad.

Maybe daddy payed off the metro cop at the scene??

Drove past the site today.... Toffiek did a good job of demolishing trees at the roots and the barrier too

I doubt the 911GT3 even knew it was racing when it supposedly lost that race...

It was racing...I saw the videos. The F80 M3 had traction issues off the line because it is seriously modded. They did a second race, rolling, the GT3 pulled ahead but when F80 M3 started putting down its power, it overtook the GT3.

I have seen the whatsapp videos where they said people should stop spreading false news, but also that he was put into an induced coma. Those videos said to not spread false rumours and that he was alive at that point.

Which is why I ask for evidence when you post something that says he is dead...

Totally understand

I think at this point rumors are so thick and fast and there is a lot of hype around this incident. For example one video I saw, someone was standing over his broken vehicle trying to sell the engine for a million bucks. They were in his garage video recording that smashed up vehicle and all his other vehicles. One can only assume that those closest to this incident are both trolling and just being plain provocative for whatever reason.

So fake news then?.

Or “thereabouts” is exactly the problem were have here.

That 25 km/h over 300 every single kilometre counts and matters when arguing about top speeds.

Also is that on the speedo or on a logged GPS? All these things matter.

Regardless of what everything else can or cannot do...that bike on the video was nowhere close to 300 and certainly not over it.

Clocked via GPS afaik

It’s actually insane if you think about it that a superbike from the BMW stable was an utterly ridiculous idea hardly 10 years ago.

Then they launched that S1000 and apart from looking a bit odd as most BMW’s do, straight out of the gate it destroyed everything.
