Tell us naive people what really happened . Don't be coy,. just show us all how smart you are then we can feel dumb and humiliated for not seeing the obvious. Come on , do your good deed for the day.

The Lexus went over the barrier and landed on several cars that were parked below. One of those cars happened to be a Mustang. KTLA got the story wrong. They have a written report that corrects this. I don't know why they are leaving this video up.

Of course a Mustang would be involved. I’m surprised two vehicles and curved road was involved. Most Mustang crashes are solo navigating a straight road.

A Mustang turning onto a straight road while doing a burnout usually ends up in a crash.
