Man burns to death in BMW crash
28 September 2012

A man was burned beyond recognition when his BMW 325is burst into flames, after he crashed into a tree on Geldenhuys Road in Putfontein yesterday morning at 11am.

The fire department attended the scene and when paramedics from ER24 arrived they found the burnt out wreck with the driver still inside.

"There was no sign of any other vehicle being involved in the accident and it is suspected that the driver lost control of his car, but an investigation is still ongoing," said ER24 spokesperson Derrick Banks.

There is a comment left on the same link where apparently a few of the details were omitted.

Get your facts straight - BMW crash
Before you publish stories, please just get your facts straight! The driver of the BMW that crashed on Thursday 27 September, was not burned to death, or beyond recognition! He was pulled out of the car before the car exploded! We saw his body on Friday, and there are NO signs of ANY burn wounds!! This is hard enough for his family and friends, without false rumours being published!

So is the 1M BMW's new widow maker ?

Sure seems that way.
The problem is that it is just so easy to drive it waaayyyy too fast. As mentioned above: "With speed comes responsibilty."

With so many of these being sold at a premium from dealers other than BMW, none of these people go on the High Performance Driving Course. At least they teach you to be responsible and to be careful with these cars.

:argh: dont blame the speed guys..its like saying guns kill.
there was an accident down the road from me where a fool also died because he took out an electrical pylon and downed electricity all over, its unfair what these guys are doing to their families by speeding in unsafe circumstances.

anyhow RIP fella
