Anyone know whose car this is?  (Appears to possibly be fiberglass, due to type of damage on front fender.)

Happened 5/22/18 on Vista Del Mar in El Segundo (that's just south of LAX, on the coast) Southern California.

We do know the driver, passenger unknown. Both survived, but driver is in critical condition in ICU. Info is too sketchy to report more. When we get more facts, and family permission, we'll share them.

I saw this on Facebook yesterday and the Names and conditions were posted.  They were at the Shelby Event. He took a curve and lost it, losing control and flipped several times.  The Passenger was in his 20's, injured bad but not life threatening, Driver was injured very bad.
