| Car flipped on SW Marine near UBC
Anyone know what happened?
When I drove by it looked like a gold 350Z upside down on the other side of the median.
only 2 cop cars on the scene.

Just happened? I was going to UBC at around 2:30pm and everything was fine, except for some big puddles on the shoulder.
Gold 350Z? is that the one from Yesterday meeting?

It looked like a Sunset Lemans 350Z somehow made it way into the ditch near the Wesbrook intersection. The ambulance and firetruck left the scene around 3:40pm.

And then there were two other cars there too - red Accord Coupe and grey Camry. I don't know if they were witnesses or if they were involved in another accident at that spot.
The flipped-over car looks like a 350Z, that orangish color that's so popular on Z's.
2 cops cars, 2 ambulances, one firetruck, one highway van (yellow flashers).
Passed by it on my way home.
