News report of a "luxury sports car" crashed last night on the M8, now I know its not likely to be a Lotus with that description but I know many people on here know many people:-

Updated to say it was a Lambo Gallardo.

[duggiesmith]

Driver was only 26.

Footballer?

[holly]

nope he wasnt a footballer.
i knew him such a horrible thing to happen!
i just hope his passenger is ok now.

[Sassy]

Hope it's not who I think it might be

[Shug]

Well, whoever it is, sympathies to the family and best wishes for the passenger's recovery.

[philthy]

Apparently the guys name was Gush, it was a Black Gallardo?

[mwmackenzie]

really sad news, the passenger was a 29 year old female according to the radio.... She got out but they didn't mention her injuries, driver passed away, so sad..

yeah was him and his g.f was with him i think.

[jj]

Never good to hear folks that young - make you think that we are lucky to be here, could happen to any of us.....

Holly, was the plate on it G**** ? Used to see it in town a lot.

I knew Gush's father Billy when my mate Shaz and I ran and IT Business but sadly Billy passed away about 18 months ago. Really shocked when Shaz phoned me earlier today with the news. I know the family, especially Gush's mum are devestated with the news.

The Gallardo was Shaz's old car and the last time I saw it was when he gave Skye a lift to School last year.

sad news indeed

I pass the place where it left the M8 every morning on my way to work. Westbound carriageway about half mile past Jct 4. Has to be the straighest section of the M8 from Jct 4 to Harthill Services.

I have just read the report on the Daily Record website and it makes me sick - complete fantasy journalism, with no thought for the family atall.

They have lifted quotes from his Bebo for dramatic effect - no sympathy for the family or care atall. Made me
