Question Last year's crash in Boston

I've always wanted to ask this, but last year i saw a black RX-8 crash near Forest Hills in Boston and always wanted to know who it is. I happened to see it after driving my girlfriend home late at night. The crash was at/ or should I say on the rotary circle. The black RX-8 must've not seen the rotary at all and flew (judging from the tire marks) from one end to the other. It was quite a jump, about 40 feet, he must've been speeding through the dark and ending at the other side of the rotary. I didn't get a chance to stop because at the moment I saw it, the cops came immediately. It was quite a horrific crash and it stuck in my mind till this day. I know crashes in Forest Hills happen often to drivers who do not really know the area and start speeding.
This is probaly the 3rd of which I've seen in this area, the two other was fatal, one on VFW highway(two lanes, parallel to Franklin Park), the other one in the other perpendicular to walk hill. I can't really get it out of my mind because when a crash like this happen around here, they stop the taffic so no one can U-turn. All you really see is the family members running past your car crying and a mother being drag to see her dying son in the middle of the wreckage. I can't stress enough not to speed around here, I know it's tempting. With a choice of roads miles long of empty roads, and really long curving ones, people know that they can test out their cars around here but just don't do it I think, it's probaly not worth it. I don't know what happened to the driver in the RX-8 but hope the driver ok though, and I was just wondering.
