According to the body shop's Instagram, the driver hit three palm trees. Hope they're ok...

Kid who bought my NSX and totaled it a few weeks later. Hit one palm tree. It tore the car in half just past the seat/firewall line. Threw the motor of the car 25ft in the opposite direction. The strongest part of the car. He went sideways into the tree doing about 70.

If this GS hit three palms... front end. Driver relatively okay.
Its a testament to the cars structural and safety design. Curious to find more about it.
