Interesting but I noticed the speed:
176 km / h

But looking at the damage, it looks like the car was not running that fast when it hit the barrier:

Can you describe the barrier he hit?

There's a news story in English, but I'm not yet allowed to post URLS...

It goes a little something like:

www DOT straitstimes DOT com SLASH BreakingNews SLASH Money SLASH Story SLASH STIStory_501392 DOT html

=)

I think the paper is from Singapore.

These are obviously "copycat" drivers looking for attention. Everyone knows that Toyota Japan has proven only American drivers are stupid enough to have this happen to them, and the problem has to be some American parts supplier.
