Well really it is surprising it has taken this long for something like this to happen, with the way things go. I have always found the idea of the Gumball cool but when people do something like this and then do not even take resposibility for their actions thats when it goes very wrong. The drivers are not poor and could probably have made things better, right after such an accident, but really now I hope they spend a fair bit of time in a Macedonian prison.

for those that know the gumball and its participants this is the guy who used to have the SL55AMG way back in 2002 and currently and just did, crash his porsche GT2. He is known for finishing most of the stages hours ahead of the others and if you've seen the videos like I have you know his driving is often done on the edge passing on soft shoulders at well over 200km/h.
It was only a matter of time

The international rally Gumball 3000 claimed the second victim today - Margarita Chepunjoska, the wife of Vladimir, who died two days ago, has passed away today in the Skopje Clinic Center.

Margarita was severely injured in the accident that took place on Wednesday, when a participant of the rally crashed his Porsche into the car driven by her husband.

That's really unfortunate
