Lexus LFA crash kills Chief Toyota Test Driver

Stack24 · Jun 23, 2010

Looks like the BMW is the new F10 5 Series. Sucks about the accident but at least the other 2 guys walked away from the accident. RIP

"We don't have much in the way of details yet, but according to a report out of Germany, Toyota's chief test driver has died in a crash on highway 410 near the Nurburgring after veering into the oncoming lane and colliding with two others test drivers driving a BMW. While the two BMW test drivers survived the crash, the yet-unnamed Toyota driver died behind the wheel of the recently spied LFA Nurburgring Edition he was driving. The report says that the driver of the LF-A was 67 years old and Toyota's chief test driver, which leads us to believe that he is Hiromu Naruse, In addition to being the company's chief test driver, Naruse is also Akio Toyoda's personal driver and the Godfather of the LFA.

Was he in a hurry to get to the farmer's market?

He should have been on a closed road.
