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.
