Update: Atwal Scoff’s At 100, ‘I Was Only Driving 80′
Arjun Atwal says witnesses to the fatal car crash he was in are wrong. He was not speed racing his 500-horsepower BMW M6 at 100 MPH, he was only driving 80 in the 45 MPH zone. In fact Atwal says he wasn’t even street racing:
“Arjun categorically denies that he was involved in any kind of racing or street racing,” says Robert Kreusler, CEO of Blue Giraffe, the sports management company representing Atwal.
Trooper Kim Miller said there were no signs the cars touched each other. She said Park’s car lost control, veering off the road into a fence and small tree and flipping up to eight times.
“You could actually see the spots that were dug into the grass,” Miller said. “As he’s going end-over-end, the car is just coming apart. It was a very violent crash.”
After Park lost control, Atwal veered the other way off the divided four-lane highway, across the median and into the opposite lane of traffic, according to the highway patrol accident diagram. He did not hit any vehicles there, Miller said.
