I don't know much of the specifics, but it looks like a big group was going into a tunnel too fast, and lost traction on the wet cement inside. Caught in the wreck was my friend, Lindsey, in her silver Lancer. There were two 350Z turbos, a white datsun Z turbo, a grey 240sx, and an SVT lightning involved. Anybody else hear about this?

no one was hurt. they were on the way home from a cruise and show. The 350z went in too fast first, (the black one) and kicked up lots of gravel which apparently made the driving surface VERY slippery...that caused the 2nd car, i believe it was the 260z to spin into the wall...on comes the truck, lancer and other cars...from what i understand in the high tach motorsports forum

we were all going back home and we taking the roads through the park way and there was also a svt lightening truck that was in front of me who actaully made it through..he said that he had to speed up to get out of my way after i bounced off the wall!the black 350z, then the 260z, the silver 350z, the 240sx, then the svt lightening, then me..was the order...we were just cruising along with me trailing behind, the black 350z slammed on his brakes after he saw the tunnel was wet and lost control and hit the wall, threw up debre and that messed everyone else up
