    Last night, on the Woodall Rogers access road. Sideways into a tree and burst into flame. Driver and passenger transported to local hospitals.

    Can't tell the color or model of the car from the remains they showed on the TV.

    I hope everyone's OK.

    Be careful out there :(

    Nothing yet on the KXAS website, please remember how the media also confuses Ferraris with other various sports cars. (NSX, Lambos, kit cars, etc..)

    www.nbc5i.com has a link in Dallas local - both driver & passenger said to have been taken to local hospitals.

    My bad, put a thread on general Ferrari before I noticed this one.

    The pictures could have been a spacecraft from Roswell, it was so destroyed.

    It must have been bad, but it always looks worse after they cut the car apart to remove the driver or passenger.

    Did we make an ID on these occupants??

    We could send a Get Well Soon card.......to them, not the car!

    I'm not sure I want to be removing sheared pieces of carbon from my body... or someone else's. It isn't to say that will happen, but the chances on the road are quite different than the race track. I'll stick to aluminum, steel and plastics.

    I have been told that it is one of my customers on the Bentley side. If that is the case, then it was a Red 2006 F430 Spyder. It was a car that he would drive back and forth from San Antonio, so it had some miles on it.

    I am trying to get confirmation right now as to the identity and status of the occupants, and will keep you all posted as to their well being after I find out.

    Welcome! And thanks....

    It's not that we want to invade anyones privacy..... maybe better not to name them here, but we DO tend to watch out for each other, from the site........

    Best wishes for recovery, I notice later articles upgraded the condition somewhat......
