Beware of fast and furious way to disaster

As the seventh stunt-filled Fast and Furious opened in Beijing, a Lamborghini and a Ferrari, driven by "unemployed" youths, crashed in a tunnel near the Bird's Nest, China's National Stadium in Beijing, late Saturday night.

Both the luxury cars suffered extensive damage, and traffic police said a young woman on the front seat of the Lamborghini was injured. The two drivers, one 20 and the other 21 years old, escaped unhurt. On Monday, police booked the two "jobless" youths for speeding (driving at about 160 kilometers an hour) and detained them for dangerous driving. Earlier, the two youths had denied they were racing, saying they didn't even know each other.

Some passersby said there were four more sports cars, including a Maserati, parking along the road in the tunnel behind the accident site, three of which are damaged to various degrees. The four cars left the site before the police arrived. However, this has not been confirmed by the police.
