At least it doesn't look like it was Anton (Reactivator).

Here are some pics of the crash: http://fishki.net/comment.php?id=49317

I guess the accident happened so fast that the spoiler didn't even even have time to go down.

Man, I had to rewind the last few seconds of the clip to even see the impact. That dude was flying. We know Crossfires and vodka don't mix.

At the bottom of the page there is a video in which they slow down the impact and you can actually tell it's the Crossfire coming in from the left. They also show more after the impact AND near the end, they have found an interview that was filmed with the actual driver that was killed along with his car. They match the plates at the end.

Can anyone translate that for us? I don't speak Russian.

That's an ugly wreck for sure.

I will say this though.......the Crossfire looks a hell of a lot better than the truck. The Cross is definitely mashed, but it's still largely in one piece. The same cannot be said for the truck, engine separated from the cab, cab separated from the frame, box separated from everything.

Unfortunate as it may be.....I hate to say it, but if you're cooking that fast in a city/urban area, you kind of shoulda' seen it coming. This is ESPECIALLY true if you feel the need to blow through red lights at that kind of speed.

The guy who put up the video, with a handle name "Uranium" stated that the XF was going at 200 mph. Apparently, the guy was a serial traffic violator. RIP. Hope he has finally found peace. Living in the fast lane don't last. He found out the hard way -- or should I say, the final way.

Actually, it's 200kph which is 124mph. Nevertheless, fast enough to kill.
