Florida Highway Patrol releases more details in the crash on the speedway where instructor Gary Terry, 36, was killed. He was killed when the driver, Tavon Watson, 24, lost control of the very fast Lamborghini and crashed into the guardrail. He had just completed a lap going 102 mph when he lost control and the fatal accident occurred.
In a 4 page report, investigators say they were going about 100 mph and the decision to drive the cars in the wrong direction was a factor in his death. They wouldn’t have been near the end of guardrail if the cars were driving counterclockwise. Some experts say he may have been going the opposite direction to slow the car down.
No mechanical issues were found and the death was ruled an accident. No charges were filed because it was an accident and it happened on private property.
Gary Terry was very experienced and had been employed at the track for more than 15 years.
Out thoughts and prayers go out to those involved.
