Gumball 3000 accident
This sounds bad. All the topics on their forum concerning this incident have been deleted. I'm pretty sure those Porsche guys are looking at jail time.

Not sure what the road looked like, but gumballers frequently overtake when there is oncoming traffic. Whether it is legal/prudent, or not.

The Gumball 2007 has been cancelled
Issued by Maximillion Cooper on behalf of The Gumball 3000 Rally - 21.30 / 03 May 2007
Following our earlier release reporting yesterday's accident - As a sign of respect we have decided that this year's Gumball 3000 Rally will not travel any further and will end in Bratislava this evening, May 3rd 2007.
As the organisers of the rally we feel that it should be stopped as a mark of respect to Vladimir Cepulyoski who died today after an accident involving one the participating drivers.
We are very saddened by what has happened and feel that it would be wrong to continue. On behalf of Gumball 3000, we once again extend our deepest sympathies to his family and we are doing everything we can for them.
This is the first time anything like this has happened in 9 years of travelling through over 40 countries with 1000's of drivers and it is with deep regret that I make this announcement.

Look at the end of the article. It seems that I was right after all. Even the police are saying that at least part of the blame rests of the deceased driver. Could it be that he simply switched lanes without checking mirrors and signalling?
