Crazy wreck in plano

Rookie83 · 12-07-2011, 11:06 AM

Apparently a tech from park place jaguar took out one of their lotus' on a test drive and wrapped it around a telephone pole a couple dealerships down from ours on plano pkwy. One of our techs is friends with the guy and said he suffered 5 broken ribs and i think he said a ruptured spleen as well. According to the tech driving it, he had just put brand new RF tires on and they were slick, the car hit 2nd gear and it just took off. Well here is the carnage...
