An apparent race between a Ferrari driver and a Porsche driver ended in tragedy in Slovakia, killing one, and it was captured on video.

Slovak police said they arrested three men after the cars they were allegedly racing crashed, killing another driver on Sept. 30, according to a translation of a police statement.

The footage shows three cars: a Ferrari, a Porsche SUV, and a Mercedes. They appear to overtake other vehicles on a road in Dolny Kubin before the crash.

Police said that the occupant of another car, a Skoda Fabia, was killed. They identified him as a father who was traveling with his family.

The suspects were identified in local news reports as a 42-year-old Pole, along with a 26-year-old and a 27-year-old. Their names were not released.

“They [Poles] did not manage an overtaking maneuver through a solid line at high speed,” the police said on Facebook, according to the Slovak Spectator. “The driver of the Mercedes managed to merge, the driver of the Ferrari braked slightly, followed by the crash of the Porsche’s driver, who collided head-on with the driver of the Skoda Fabia.”

The Spectator said that a 50-year-old who was in the Skoda suffered serious injuries.

“They are young people, maybe the children of some millionaires, they are driving like fools here,” said a witness, according to the Spectator.
