    I saw a quick story on King 5 tonight about a Ferrari that wrecked and the owner got flown to Harborview. Hopefully he isn't a member here. Has anyone else heard anything?

    Wow. Had not heard about that.... hopefully someone "in the know" will
    chime in.

    [edit] search on King5.com has no results... nothing on main page as of now anyway.

    Still nothing on ANY local news web site. Me thinks bogus report.

    WHY? I mean, really?

    I didn't see the story but a friend said he saw it on the news earlier today. He thought it happened on 520.

    So if it was on King 5 TV, why would they be blocking it from their web site? Or
    KIRO or KOMO? It's not on ANY local news site... 520 is a LONG way from Auburn, btw....

    Weird.

    I saw the report on King 5 and they showed a guy being loaded onto a streacher being wheeled away. They said Ferrari but I never saw a picure of the car. Hope he is ok as it looked to be a hard hit. It was a Ferrari so it warranted a King 5 news chopper to hover over.

    Very good information that vehicle was a Ferrari, and this person said it was a 430.
    Reported to be a serious accident.
    Anyone know the person, are they on this board?

    just got a report that I do know the guy that wrecked the car. Not an Fchatter. He rolled it I've been told. He's one of my customers neighbors. I will report anymore news if I get it


    update: Car is totalled. Passenger is in Hospital. Rolled 430

    I just heard about this ... The driver is the same business as me (flooring) and we share many friends and sales reps.

    I believe it was a red over black 430 spider. I guess the driver is OK but his friend (passenger) is in bad shape.

    Sad news. Prayers go out for the passenger's quick recovery!

    Any update on the driver and passenger.
    I heard the driver is generally OK, but the passenger is in very bad shape

    Last I heard was the passenger was in ICU and waiting for the swelling to go down before they operate on him. He had a skull fracture with bone fragments they need to remove.

    Michael cause of the accident not sure. Coming around a corner he lost control and hit a tree. All I know. Don't know conditions, speed or anything.

    That is actually about 160 miles round trip. About a tank of gas for a Lambo. :D
