Looks like negligence, reading from the sccaforum about this.

Driver is blaming the lugnut supplier, but c'mon... I think he needed to extend the stuf length and he didn't.

Here's the issue. I still don't believe it's the lugnuts. I believe it's the driver. I can understand if one wheel fell off. But all 4 wheels? That's saying 20 lugnuts simultaneously sheared off. Unless those lugnuts were made of plastic or butter, I doubt they all broke at the same time.

i wanted to see the studs and see if they sheared off. instead, the video guy shot everything from the people, the number of the car, in the interior and the far-away shots of the wheels...

sheez....
i know, whats with S'ty camera operators these days? thats one thing i cant stand, it seems like common sense to me, but when others hold a camera, its like the camera is a dumbing filter to their brain haha

but give him credit for not dropping the camera filming the ground right when it happened (what many do when a crash happens)

Remember about a certain STi here in the bay that had loose lug nuts?
