Thumbs down S2000 Hits the medium up on Warwick Blvd.

Yesterday afternoon about 6:30PM on Warwick Blvd near the Toyota Dealer I saw a Red S2000 turned around facing traffic. What appear to happen is that the S2000 fishtail, lost control and hit the medium. For sure he mess up the rear suspension, no body damage that I could notice from the distance.

To me the weather was not that too good and he most likely took the curve at a higher speed for the driving conditions. People that can't handle cars, I tell you!

Surely sucks though.
That really sucks then and he probably wasn't used to a RWD car.
