Newport Beach CA (myFOXla.com) – Newport Beach police say one person is dead and a second injured after a speeding Ferrari crashed and broke in half.
Police say the bright red Ferrari Modena was traveling at high speed next to a Porsche when it apparently hit that car, then struck a curb and knocked over a light pole shortly before 1 a.m. Wednesday.
The crash tore the $300,000 car in half. The driver died at the scene and his name has not been released. A woman passenger thrown from the car has been hospitalized but there’s no word on her condition.
Police have arrested the Porsche’s driver, 51-year-old Jeffrey Kirby of Costa Mesa, for investigation of gross vehicular manslaughter, and his woman passenger for investigation of public intoxication. His phone number in Costa Mesa is unlisted.

I would like to say I was very impressed with Mask, I liked that he became very successful and still maintained his tremendous character. He is a quality person and it was nice to see how he helped many fighters with financial support and mental support. He showed that he cared about the people he worked with, and provided inspirational words to guys who seemed like they needed some guidance in and out of the fighting arena.
