Some guy pulled the driver (the wrestler) out through the back window before the vehicle burst into flames. He saved his life. Obviously a terrible choice to drive recklessly that could have ended much worse. Sometimes those Fast and Furious movies inspire stupidity. Hopefully everyone can recover well.

I wouldn’t believe anything Ferrari or his family post about the accident other than his health. They’re basically wrestlings version of the jerry springer show or the Spears family lol
They pulled out the wrestler, but how did Rodriguez get out?

1) He intentionally and illegally drove into the incorrect lane and tried to intentionally and illegally pass three cars while going over a hill. Nothing accidental about it. Goes against everything we’re taught in driving school.
2) The actual definition of “accident” is “happening by chance, unintentionally, or unexpectedly.” Again, the drivers actions do not fit this definition.
Intentionally driving into the other lane to pass those cars doesn't mean Ferrari intentionally crashed into another vehicle. The intention was probably just to pass those cars. Dangerous? Yes. Foolish? Yes. Intentional crash? Doubtful. Therefore, it was an accident.
That said, what's more important: The health of all the people involved in the incident, along with the lesson that Ferrari hopefully learned about safe driving, or debating semantics?
In emergency medicine, the old diagnosis "Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA)" was superseded by the new diagnosis "Motor Vehicle Crash (MVC)" some years ago. As one of my mentors taught me, "When you're driving along and an asteroid falls out of the sky and hits your car, that's an accident. Everything else is driver error."
25 posts in and not a single mention about similarity of the drivers name and fast Italian sportscars... wow.
Hope the kids will recover, but an accident is more often a crash than a real accident.
Incredible lack of self awareness. Stupidity.

Some guy just happened to be a football coach. Hero.

You are proving my point. What is important is learning from this, which won't happen if we pretend it was a random "accident" and not a readily preventable crash.
The word "accident" is not synonymous with "unintentional". If I crash my car illegally speed racing down side streets, that would not be intentional but it is ridiculous to call that an accident, which implies that the event was unpredictable and unpreventable.
I have worked in injury prevention for many years (as an MD), and the use of the word "accident" in contexts like this has been widely discountenanced.

"Crash."
Not "accident."
Nearly every death in the US is preventable whether from heart attack or cancer or diabetes.

And when my 350-pound patient dies of a heart attack, I don't call it a "heart accident."
Thanks.

It's sad that people have to declare if they like someone or not before they comment on it.

Yeah it makes sense everyone wants to consider every time they screw up a "mistake" or "accident" because the leaders of this country fail to ever take any genuine accountability as well. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Some of you aren't sounding sympathetic because he was driving recklessly. But you don't have the same scorn for the millions of Americans who die from other preventable causes.
