They were definitely hauling ass. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to have an accident like that.
If you look at maps there was a long straight with a right hand turn where they crashed. I'd guess they got up to speed, driver got caught out a bit at the turn, lift throttle oversteer+cold temps+summer tires and that thing snapped on them. Along for the ride at that point.
Hard lesson. I got lucky as a kid. Plan to have my sons do the extra driving schools (BMWCCA Street Survival school) along with some autocrossing to get an appreciation for car control and just how easy it is to loose control.
