They must know who owned it because the article I saw said they went to a local hospital.

Is it privately owned or owned by one of those businesses that sell experience excursions?

It said it was part of a cross country rally (like the Cannonball run).

Stuff is starting to make its way to the top in Google search. Looks like they were up by Valley of Fire. The owner will probably get a ticket for littering in the park or if they were in Lake Mead from the NPS in the national park :)

Same woman who was all over the net last year for getting into an altercation with a motorcyclist in her new 720. She’s a nice person, terrible to have such rotten luck.

Obviously another case of the car being faster than the driver. She said " I broke the same ribs as I did last year at COTA."

Did she say why they left the car there?

Not the best publicity

Makes me feel safe driving my McLaren! The car certainly protected the occupants.
