Apparently a Gumball spokesperson said the pair were doing the speed limit (40mph) and the car pulled out infront of them.

Now, although I don't know the full story I can't quite believe that.

i've watched this a few times and though it was pretty decent.

but i though summit like this would happen.

going over 100mph for 8 days (i think its is asking for trouble.


how do they get away with speeding anyway????

It's possible. There are some people that do the speed limits at some points during the gumball. And we've only seen one picutre of the damage so you don't know what other roadside items there may have been to mangle the cars etc. The porsche doesn't look too bad in the picture yet the Golf does. It's again lack of information.

I was in London last weekend, and i actually stumbled across the opening at Pall Mall. Vadge and cars everywhere, my greatest loves.

I have pics

Couldn't believe the sheer luck!

Just an ickle update from Jalopnik:

If this is true, well...

Also, the guy who runs the Gumball is now blaming the elderly couple for the crash:

Pompous douchebags.
