Reports of the two luxury vehicles running next to each other at high speed on Sherman Way has led to suspicions that they were racing, though that hasn’t yet been confirmed by LA police.

What is known is that the Mercedes GT 63 struck a Honda Civic making a turn on Sherman Circle on Saturday night so hard that both its occupants were taken to hospital, the driver with serious injures. NBC Los Angeles says the Honda’s driver was ejected from the car in the rollover smash.

The driver of the Mercedes remained at the scene and reportedly received treatment for minor injuries before being arrested for reckless driving. But the Cullinan, which got into a fender bender with a Chevy Traverse while swerving to avoid the Mercedes-Honda mashup, proceeded to hit a curb, its iconic grille coming to rest in some bushes, the SUV lying perpendicular to the road.
Local news reports say police haven’t released the name or even a description of the missing Rolls driver, but since they’ve got custody of the car it shouldn’t take long to work out who was behind the wheel, unless it was stolen.
There’s been no update on the condition of the Honda occupants, who sound like they were lucky to be alive. Footage from the scene shows an older white Civic wagon missing its entire front end, and emergency crews taking away one of the survivors on a stretcher.
Only last week we covered a story in which YouTuber Andre Beadle died after crashing his tuned BMW M240i in New York. Police say Beadle was driving at high speed right before the accident.
