Speeding Mustang, Ferrari cause crash
The southbound lanes of North Coast Highway were closed for
several hours Saturday night, June 11, when two speeding cars caused
an accident that left debris strewn across the roadway, police said.
A Ford Mustang and a Ferrari were reportedly racing at speeds in
excess of 100 mph at 8:30 p.m. when the cars entered the dip near
Emerald Bay and the driver of the Mustang hit a Honda from behind,
police said.
The Honda was hit so hard the rear bumper was pressed against the
front seats, police said. The driver of the Honda was hospitalized
with only minor injuries.
The passenger of the Mustang had to be cut out of the car using
the Jaws of Life, police said. Neither the driver nor the passenger
of the Mustang were critically injured, police said.
The Ferrari did not stop after the collision and police were
unable to locate the car, police said.
The Mustang driver was taken into police custody and charged on
suspicion of drunken driving and causing bodily injury to others,
police said.
