He's the owner's son actually, from what I recall. Herb Chambers is one of the largest dealership chains in central MA (link). Now that I actually read the article I remember my parents telling me about it last week.
Belmont St in Worcester (less than a mile from my apartment) happens to be comprised entirely of a giant steep hill and a small spot of twisty road with blind spots. If he was doing anything over the speed limit I can see easily why he crashed.

From the article "The car is modeled after the famous Ford GT-40 that won the 24 Hours of LeMans, a sports car endurance race, four times in a row, from 1966 to 1969, according to racing fans." I didn't know that!!!

Whatever but as a fellow journalist I think this is good info so people know it's not just an expensive car but that it is a (thought it doesn't say, a limited production) car that is a slightly larger version something that brought the US awards based on its performance in the 60's. Plus the idea that some eejit had what was and is now a supercar and fooked it up.
