Another CGT bites the dust

I was returning from lunch in a friend's car. Saw a silver CGT being pulled onto the flatbed with the driver's still sitting in the driver's seat on his cellphone. Looks like he didn't stop getting onto San Tomas Expway from Central going south and oversteered into the dirt embankment. Sorry no pics. But here's a map
I'm sure someone from here saw it as there are a few in Santa Clara...

Looked like damage to the front & rear bumpers, and wheels...It is a dirt embankment. You know which one I'm referring to Brian. Right by Nvidia...
He was trying to look cool by being on his mobile wearing his sunglasses...

*THAT* used to be my racetrack!!! you can basically do the loopty-loops forever, or until the cops come.

i used to work on the business park on the lower corner of Central/San Thomas (right where the "Oh No I've crashed" box is.) one day i came flying through the corner, 1/2 sideways in the Supra, and 3 motorcycle cops were parked on San Thomas. they just looked at me as i flew by them. i immediately pulled into work, but a motorcycle cop was greeting me before i got out of the car.

he was cool about it, told me to expect them there for the next few weeks, and refrain from doing it in the future

I think that company is TellaLabs or something like that. Yea I've drifted that 1st hairpin corner coming off Central and then just stop at San Tomas. I only did that a few times.

I've been in Chuck's Supra in that corner - I thought we were dying for sure.

Luckily the owner didn't crash too badly, and was alright. That's all that really matters.
