Maybe this speed would have been acceptable on dry pavement, but definitely not on a moist surface. Water gets in between the tires and the road surface and creates reduced friction points, which leads to wheel spin and slip. Chances are the driver was speeding and didn't see the corner coming. Slamming on the brakes and trying to turn at the same time, the DB9 enters a nose plow of death. Once the brakes are locked up and ABS is activated, there is only so much one can do to avoid the inevitable.
The best thing to do in this unfortunate circumstance would be exercising more caution. This driver more than anyone now understands vehicle physics on wet pavement. It may be a track monster and handle like on rails when the road is dry, but a soggy oil laden road is no surface for rear wheel drive performance driving. Even the best all-wheel drive vehicles can experience a certain degree of trouble traversing in this specific scenario. With the right asphalt sealant, a wet surface is no better than an icy surface. By watching the video below, it's safe to say this DB9 is totaled. Better luck next time!
