Either he is locked inside from the damage or, most probably is that he didn't have time yet to get out and the photo (or maybe still image of a video) was taken right when it happened, there seems to be a bit of smoke coming from the front and there are no cars yet stopped around or no crowds.

NOT the orange Cinque, thank god [no roof-mounted intake, brake ducts on rear quarter panels]. Still a terrible loss.
I imagine that even if the driver is ok, which I'm sure he is [it's a strong car after all], that this one will sting for some time to come...

More like no insurance payout. Btw, the sales tax on cars in HK is 100%, so imagine how much money just went down the drain.
It cost so much to insure cars in HK that most people only buy 3rd party.
The first pic was taken RIGHT AFTER the accident.
The driver is OK. He is seen running away from reporters right after.
Kind of highlight the danger of super high power car with only rwd on narrow streets, once it lose control, there is no saving.
