Ferrari Crash on Christmas Eve
While many people enjoy their holiday season, some manage to get in trouble and mess up wonderful days like these. On Christmas Eve, December 24, a grey Ferrari developed extremely high speed, jumped the center divider and ran into a tow-truck which was going the opposite direction. The car split in two and caught on fire.
The accident took place at 5.15 p.m. in Newport Beach, California. Although the case is still investigated, it has been already cleared that the main problem lies in speed, not alcohol or other factors. A 24-year-old passenger, Ralph Abinader, has died immediately, but the firefighters managed to rescue the driver by putting down the fire and using special tools. The driver is still in critical condition and his identity has not been figured out yet.
The tow truck that has been run into is in much better shape: the driver and passenger had only minor injuries and after a little time in a hospital have been released.
