Quotes from witnesses of the accident: 

Quote: 
"The person driving the vehicle who was behind him (Ferrari Stradale)
just called us and told us what happened from his view. He was first on
the scene. He said the GT past him at over 150mph as they eased onto
the straigh a way and was traveling close to 165mph when he saw the car
swerve. He got his car stopped and was first on the scene. One person
was DOA and the other (driver) passed away in the helicopter enroute to
the hospital. 

What happened with the pit marshall: 

Marshall saw the GT coming and gave the Ferrari owner the "GO" Ferrari
guy hesitated.. looked back at the track.. passenger was shouting
"GO".. then marshall says "STOP" and the Ferrari guy takes off." 


Quote: 
"Ben died on the track with a fellow lover of cars Corey as his
passenger. He was nearing a the end of a high speed straight away when
another car was waived on to the track causing Ben to swerve to avoid
the collision striking a concrete retaining wall head on. Corey died
instanteously and Ben died as he was being flown to the hospital." 
another account of the incident: 

"I have tears in my eyes as I write this. I witnessed the whole thing. 

IT WAS NOT BEN'S FAULT!!! THE ORGANIZER HAD PICKED THE 150MPH ZONE AS
THE ENTRANCE TO THE TRACK AND THE F-CAR DRIVER PULLED IN FRONT OF HIM
NEAR THE END OF THE STRAGHT. THERE WERE NO CORNER WORKS AND NO FLAGS!!!
HE TRIED TO AVOID HIM AND SPUN OUT AND HIT THE WALL AT NEARLY THAT
SPEED. "
