So you are saying, the guy in the silver car pulled out in front of him, caused the accident, but this car that was built for speed is the bad guy.

"a car that is familiar to street racing"
What idiot goes street racing and puts in a roll cage?

Anywho, I hate the media sometimes.

yea... that doesnt look like 70mph damage to me... witnesses said the civic "looked like" it was going 70mph... maybe the civic just "looks fast".. doesnt mean he had to have been going fast... GL to the both of them

pretty serious accident and that is why people should drive with eaz especially on busy city streets. Car looks well built and that cage held up pretty nicely.

hopefully everyone is ok
