If he was able to buy a $500k supercar, he's able to buy himself out of trouble, or at least have the connections to get himself out of trouble. I am unfortunate enough to know a couple of rich idiots who routinely get themselves into messes like these. Driving drunk, getting their GT3 stuck on train tracks, getting it destroyed by an Amtrak train. These guys will barely get a slap on the wrist...

Ditto!

There is NO excuse for doing 140mph in the city, especially on wet roads. This loser's license should be revoked with no hope for return for 3 years. If he did it again 5 years. After that it's revoked for life. No more chances.

Actually, at 140 mph the car survived/protected quite well.

PS: I agree, no excuse for this kind speed off track.

Anyone who drives like that through a residential area should have their license permanently revoked, period.

He may feel fortunate that he didn't die. How would he have felt had he hit some small child on their bike, or a family of five in their car?

Idiot.

Actually, I can nearly guarantee that the insurance company is attempting to deny his claim.

There is all sorts of boilerplate language in insurance contracts/policies that void coverage for "illegal" or "unlawful" or "hazardous" operation or "misuse."

If someone does 140mph on a residential or public street, and an accident ensues, the insurance company is going to attempt to deny the claim, and will move for what's known as a declaratory relief action in court, whereby they can get a judgment of equitable relief stating they do not have to cover the economic/non-economic loss.
