I don't get why we can't just get the real story on what happened?

Somebody knows.

Who needs facts when we can just make up stuff?


I say:

Magnus was trying to block the street because someone was smuggling a truck full of high quality car wax down from Canada with the intention of flooding the US market.
When the truck driver realized he was cornered between a Porsche dealership and the 911 he decided to try to break through the block and rammed into the car pushing it backwards for several feet until Magnus pointed his ray gun at the driver and made a citizen arrest.

He was trying to pull a Knight Rider maneuver when the ramp failed to lower completely, so he had to bail at the last second. The Merc he supposedly avoided was filming it.

Simple.....just like Paul Walker:

Dot Bots...he hit them and spun out going 25 mph.

He is keeping quiet so he can try and convince the insurance company to pay for the repairs... If the truth comes out, they will reject the claim...

I was thinking something along the same thing...I think the only acknowledgement he has made was that he is okay. But i can't seem to find that post (on facebook or instagram?). Will be interesting to see what happens.

What about the people who have posted on this thread and were at the event, like "iamchappy" they have to know what really happened.

Pretty sure he was just driving down the road when a deer ran out in front of him and he swerved to miss it, lost control, and hit a tree...

That explains a lot, except the lack of skid marks. Were the tires that cold?

Have a closer look at the tires. They are slicks with no tread.
Those compounds rarely leave tire tracks, especially when cold.

Video shows it wasn't very well organized- blasting down the frontage road with other traffic, and the semi parked ON the road itself??? Pretty stupid if you ask me.

And that reporter has NO idea what she's doing either... couldn''t someone tell her how to pronounce it???
