“As a result of yesterday’s tragic accident, the track will be closed until further notice,” the company posted. “We appreciate your understanding and will send an update once we determine when we will reopen. Thank you for your support during this difficult time.”

A client driving a Lamborghini lost control and crashed into a concrete wall protected by car tires, killing him and an instructor in the passenger seat, according to Metro Police.
