Or maybe too much car and not enough driver. Road isn't even wet.

I hope the driver was okay. Looks like if he had a passenger that person would be in serious trouble.

I have driven on that road many times. It is the one that takes you from San Jose, over the mountains to the coast line. Lots of twisty roads to go road racing on.
I hope that guy is ok. His car certainly is not.

WOW!! Hopefully the guy is alright. I would hate to see that happen to anyone. Can you imagine being the car behind him. Not a pretty sight. I feel for ya man.
