A white Porsche crashed in Macedonia, near the city of Struga close to the Albanian border.

Update: Locals got injured in the crash, we hope they are ok.

Update 2: Driver of the Volkswagen Golf died on the way to the hospital, his wife is at the intensive care in critical condition, with broken ribs and fluid in her lungs. 24 hours after the incident still no statement from Gumball 3000.

Update 3: Margarita, passenger of the Golf and wife of Vladimir, died in the hospital today, 10 minutes before her husbands funeral. We are very sad that she passed away from the severe injuries she suffered from the crash two days ago.

Note: GTspirit has no affiliation with Gumball 3000. We regret what happened and our thoughts go out to Marga & Vladimir and their families.

    The elderly man driving the Golf ran a stop sign and the driver of the Porche was clearly speeding. In the end the driver of the Porsche did not face jail time. To this day the Gumball lives on……

    Do any of you realize there are drivers who attempt to break the world record of the cannonball run every year?

    Gumball should be banned for life!

    I think the Gumball Rally really should be ended forever, if it isn’t already done after this. It’s one thing if it were run by professional race car drivers, but these are just regular people with no real experience at controlling cars at these speeds. Taking a 5-day “M school

    I share the same opinion… you guys should STOP gumball forever!!
    SHAME on you!!
    You killed 2 persons with such a STUPID behavior… I hope you’ll be sent to prison.

    REMEMBER: Life is something EVEN YOU CAN’T BUY FOR F***ING MONEY!

    My condolences to the Family and friends of the bereaved, I agree with so many of the comments that have been left. I personally feel that the Driver and passenger of the Porsche should be held as an example to would be “Race drivers”
    If they are prosecuted and jailed, it will be a deterrent to others that are willing to follow their example!

    Gumball3000 is no race, its just an illness.
    It sucks if someone has to die just because some crazy guys want to have some fun.
