Severe Audi R8 Crash Splits Car in Half in South Africa

This is a very strange one. It is a crashed Audi R8 from South Africa, which is so far not unusual, considering the fact that we had another supercar crash from the country, last week. Still, this one takes the cake, because of the severity of the crash itself and the circumstances which ultimately lead to it.

So apparently, the police pulled over the driver of this Audi R8 Spyder, which can see split in half, in the photo gallery below, and because they found marijuana in his car, the driver panicked and drove off.

This is, however, the cops' side of the story, and it has become a cliche to blame it on drugs, so we would suspect that it is not actually true.

Nevertheless, moments after being stopped and searched, the driver sped off, with the second police officer still in the passenger's seat, searching the car.

It al degenerated into a very nasty crash, in which both the driver and the police officer were killed. The R8 collided with a tree and broke in half.
