This happened on Gumball 2011 I believe and only recently has the video surfaced.

The Mercedes that was hit initially was owned by Ice T. The R8 owner claimed a blown tire was the cause of the accident and was covered. :/

He had a blown tire...that somehow activated his right turn signal.

I'm gonna call BS on that one.

The R8 driver changed lanes into a lane that wasn't empty. Plain and simple.

Disgusting driving from all of them. They should all be thrown in jail and have their licenses revoked permanently. There's just no room for that level of callous disregard for human life on the road.

Frustrating to see such negligence by the R8 driver but the whole "race crew" also takes part of the blame enticing each other. Unfortunate to see their shenanigans took out that unsuspecting Accord.
