Different view of crash. It was not a gt40 as posted but rather a 2019 Ford GT nor was the daughter driving from my understanding.

Which driver though? If you mean the Ford GT driver I agree. Driving too fast for the area and to me it looks as if the driver had fully pulled out onto the road at for a short duration at slow speed albeit. I saw no barrel rolls either but regardless of the hyperbole, one has to agree that the damage is horrendous to that GT. All around painful for me to see.

Barrel rolls? Looks like the glass is in perfect shape. Don't see any smoke or fire damage but with the words across the screen tough to tell. Shame just the same soon to be found on Copart.

Looks like the car pulling out was partially at fault if not the main contributor. It appears to me that the gray hatch back was still at an angle and the gt swerved to avoid but got clipped. The gt may have also been speeding but hard to say. There will definitely be a crash investigation measuring skid etc

First off, the video 'claiming' barrel rolls was a click bait tactic. My perspective was the car making the left was the start of the problem, the Ford GT driver going too fast and lost control. Love to see the insurance claims on this mess...

CA has a system where they can apply % of fault to each involved in an accident. Insurance companies argue back and forth to keep their drivers % and their exposure as low as possible.

I can't get the one video to work and it is hard to tell from the other. 

If the driver pulling out of the lot drove into the path of the oncoming Ford GT, I'd say that driver is mostly at fault.  It looks like the GT is going fast enough that some of the other driver's fault would be mitigated.
