Default Bad day at a car show

I know many feel that not getting a trophey is a bad day at a car show, but to put things into perspective, THIS is a bad day at a car show:

Bang Shift : : Nightmare Photos: Lady Crashes Lexus Into Car Show - Wrecks Show Cars

Lady in a lexus took out a Pontiac and a Ford attending a local meet. Shows how newer cars hold up to accidents and olders one, not so much...

Suprised the lady made it out alive, not from the accident but from the owners of the 2 cars.

Sad to see,
Joe

On the bright side, the lemans owner has a great story, pics, and an insurance company racing to buy him a new classic car.

I did not see an explanation for why the owner of the Lexus did that. I'm guessing one of two things:
1 - She had a medical condition (such as blacked out)
2 - Angry wife/ex-wife, LeMans may have belonged to the husband

I hope it's not alchohol related or the lady being plain stupid (such as playing with a cell phone and driving).

WOW, I'd hate to be anyone around there.....
