We went to the impound yard were his car is and we asked around to find out who's looking at the car.
We came across a man named Gerald who's doing the investigation, He told us that the cause of the accident was from the back wheels skidding. He also told us that the Gearbox was still in fourth gear and that they could not get it out of gear. Upon more invistigating he said that the clutch was pressed in?????
So we asked about the brakes and to our surprice he said that the brakes were not applyed because there were no sign's that the front tyres skidded. ????????
He told us that the final result would be know on Monday ( today's Friday )
I'll keep you informed.

We went there again this morning and found out that the diff had locked and caused the back wheels to lock up.
End result was to much power for the diff causing it to break under pressure and the back wheels to freeze up and cause the car to lose control at Approx 106 MPH.
