- The McLaren 765LT collided with a Honda Civic in Glendale after the traffic light turned yellow.
- A motorcyclist behind the supercar captured the entire accident on video for everyone to see.
- Despite the damage, all occupants of the two cars survived without life-threatening injuries.
A group of motorcycles went for a cruise in Arizona recently and a McLaren driver joined them. Sadly, the supercar wouldn’t make it home as it had an unexpected run-in with a Honda. Now, video from the crash has people wondering who is to blame for one less 765LT on the earth.

adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”) {

}

The YouTube channel Mad Maxy documented the group ride. Early on, the group of bikers meet up with the McLaren at a parking lot in the Westgate entertainment district. Sadly for everyone involved, the crash happened almost immediately at the corner of Glendale Ave and 96th only a short distance away.

In the clip, the McLaren is following other traffic turning from 96th onto Glendale. As it passes over the crosswalk, the light turns from green to yellow. It seems as though oncoming traffic has the same light stages and a Honda Civic enters the intersection with speed at about the same time. For whatever reason, neither the McLaren driver or the Honda driver seem to notice the other car.
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”) {
adpushup.triggerAd(“5646c171-cb6e-4e2c-8440-49013ca72758”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130”);
}
});
Ultimately, the Civic smashes into the front of the 765LT. The impact obliterates the front end of the McLaren and badly damages the Honda too. Airbags go off in each one and pieces end up scattered across the roadway. Mad Maxy openly titled the video “Whose [sic] at Fault?”
While it’s impossible to say with complete certainty, it seems as though the McLaren driver should’ve waited. The Honda, traveling straight, had the right of way to clear the intersection first. In fact, the guys on bikes seem to agree that the female Honda driver had the right of way.
At this point it’s unclear who, if anyone, received citations from the police or how insurance will sort out the crash. Most importantly, though, the occupants all survived without life-threatening injuries. Consider this a good reminder to look both ways when crossing the street, even if you’re in a car that is objectively great at turning heads.
