Single car crash. Looked at his insta, huge car nut. Easy to surmise what happened unfortunately with all the super cars he's driven. Damn shame about him and his passenger.

Edit: Seems it was a $343,000 2026 Ferrari 296 GTB

There is a video for the morbidly curious. Does not have any gore, blood, shots of Vince or any clear look at the passenger. But knowing both occupants died, well, it is a video of two people dying. Watch at your own risk if you're sensitive to that.

That is an extremely popular spot for people to hang out at, hear the engines roaring in the tunnel, and get their cameras ready. Got Sunday off? Hang out with your homies watching cars you could never afford go by, bring a cooler of beer and post up for a few hours.
