Laguna crash, anyone on here?

DriftKr6l · 02-16-2022, 12:20 PM

Is there a video of what happened?

That video should have no sound. The guy is crying out in pain. Whomever he is, I hope he's ok.

From the youtube comments: "There was an auto cross session held at the parking lot. Guy had a seizure while accelerating and kept driving straight more or less till he crashed into security guard's post and other vehicles parked nearby."

Oh no!! Hope the guy is ok.

Wow crazy. I was there the following day and they actually had to cancel the autocross & 0-60 portion of the day because of this. They couldn't necessarily tell us what had happened at that time but now it all makes sense. Hope whomever was involved made it through okay.

Wow. Poor guy. I think that'll be his last hpde.

I was there. Just finished signing in at the gate when it happened. Have all the actual footage of what happened but did not upload it.

But yea, it's basically what someone posted above. Seizure. There was actually a passenger in the car was a complete stranger and didn't know the driver. Shitty all around.

It could have ended a LOT worse than it did. The M2 crashed into a parked chevy tahoe. If the Tahoe wasn't there, it would have gone straight through my friends m2 behind me at over 100mph.

I witnessed something similar at an AX many years ago.

Super nice guy driving a Z3 (with passenger), had a seizure, car kept accelerating, went airborne over a parking island, which was enough disruption for his foot to come off the gas, car decel (without brake) and a pole stopped them from going out into traffic.

Super scary, and somehow they both ended up OK. Hope this guy (and the person sitting on the ground & anyone else) does too.

Thankfully the privately owned M2 (on the left in the video) that was damaged is all fixed up and back at the track.

I'm glad that person is ok.

This is really scary and hopefully all were ok. This video should be without sound though, a bit much.
