19 year old kid driving a Ferrari 430 alongside another Ferrari 430. Lost it and went on the wrong side of the road.

Racing? Who knows? For a small motorcycle to hit the car and cause that much damage to the car, excessive speeds were surely an issue.

At the end of the day, someone got killed, and someone is gonna have to pay...

I rode sport bikes for many years and was lucky enough to never taste asphalt. Sometimes, no matter how careful, you just end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"Two men who lost control of Ferraris near the Meadowlands Sports Complex leading to a crash that killed a Kinnelon motorcyclist were arrested Monday night and charged with death by auto, authorities said."

I read the article as two separate Ferraris at different areas both had accidents that were from the same event. The 19 year old driver was not involved with another vehicle.

It seems it doesn't matter because the 19 year old was racing and/or at high speed with the other Ferrari when both drivers lost control and one Ferrari crossed into the path of the motorcyclist.

So very sad. The decedent seems like he was a really cool guy.

These young punks need to pay for their actions.

This will probably settle out of court for a large sum. Very sad. I always wonder why the hell a 19 yr old would be driving a car like that. The N. Jersey crowd is no joke. There is a lot of money in Alpine, Upper Saddle River etc.
