Default [AUS] S2000 fatality on 2222

I just received word that there was an accident involving an S2000 on 2222 last night around 5:30. Does anyone know who it was or if it was one of us?

RIP...

Deceased was identified as Michael Cory Purcell. Godspeed, Michael. I never knew you, but I hope you died doing what you loved.

You don't even have to push your car to the extreme limit. Look at what happened to me just outside of Harris Hill Road. I caught dirt right off the road's edge and spun out. If there was a car behind that Mustang I could have been t-boned.

This is a fairly hazardous road with lots of high speed traffic. Coincidentally it appears to be the second fatality on 2222 within a few days that involved a silver Volkswagen. A silver VW driver suffered a single-car, fatal crash on 2222 over the weekend. The S2000 driver in yesterday's crash struck a silver VW traveling on 2222.
