I didn't see this posted and I searched "vespa wreck" real quick and didn't see anything.

Just talked to someone who was on the ride and he described the accident as a young early 20's kid driving an Lexus SC300 50-55mph around a 25mph turn loosing control, locking his brakes up and skidding into the on coming lane hitting Josh head on. Josh was on his Green Laser (not leading but in the middle of the pack) which was thrown some 100 yards backwards and down into a ravine. Both car and scooter are totaled.
As one who was on that ride but did not see the incident or the scene, I saw a HUGE train of Lexus and other import racers coming down Hwy 9 just as we were approaching the 9/35 intersection. Kids hanging out of windows, hootin' and hollerin', taking photos and video and not a lot of attention being paid where it was needed.




Said the driver didn't even bother to get out and check on the guy he hit, just sat in his car the whole time. I saw this link on another site and they said it was a ClubLexus cruise.
