Unhappy New BMW M2 CS crashed at the Nürburgring Nordschleife

Earlier today a forum member going by the nickname "Sylar" on a Belgian BMW fans forum, posted the Nürburgring Nordschleife webcam picture shown below which he had noticed.

The blue car on the tow truck (Lenz Abschleppdienst Adenau) is the new BMW M2 CS - Misano Blue Metallic - gold colored 763M wheels - red calipers.

I heard through the grapevine that this M2 CS effectively crashed this morning (Sunday July 5, 2020): upon exiting 'Fuchsröhre' ('Foxhole' - a fast downhill section of 'The Ring') the driver lost control over the new car, hit the guardrails and came to a halt at 'Adenauer Forst'. Subsequently the car was towed away. No information about the scope of the damage (a source merely mentioned "one M2 CS down"), the driver's condition (very likely OK) and whether it was a privately owned vehicle.

Unfortunately, an early M2 CS casualty claimed by 'The Green Hell' (aka "becoming part of the Bongard Club" or "becoming part of the Lenz Legion", referencing tow truck companies operating on 'The Ring').

This Porsche (entering the 'Fox Hole' @ 01:12) passes the low point bump (downhill-uphill point towards the 'Adenauer Forst' section) at 330 km/h @ 01:21:
