notice the police covered the plate and I am assuming they did not so the new media does not attempt to locate the owners and family and drop the news on them in front of the cameras

Any purpose built sports car (F430, Porsche GT3, C6 Vette, etc), going those speeds, hitting a guard rail, and then flipping 50 times is going to turn 4 people into ground beef. These cars weigh close to 3,000 pounds, there is a reason they are light.

I'm guessing CSI finds out 3 of the 4 people were dead before the accident even occured, and go onto solve mystery of where they died.

It probably might have been drunk driving though although i wouldn't be surprised if she just lost control of her vette and not knowing the limits of her car. How or why there were 4 people inside the vette is beyond me
How do 3 grown adults get thrown out of those small windows?

I too have been saying this for years. Why hasn't this been implemented? The general public is just too stupid for their own good.
