Fuggin OUCH!!!!
Yes, it was mine. I was swerving to avoid people on the road and lost the rear tires... regained control, but had already jumped the curb and hit a palm tree head on @ 60-80 mph and tore through it. The airbags deployed and I was knocked unconscious. I spun out and apparently hit a second tree on the side and came to a full stop.
I got really lucky... I walked away with an abrasion on my elbow and a mild concussion (both airbag injuries). I am convinced that the car saved my life, though if you look at the pics, a passenger would not have been as lucky... I guess I'm also lucky I was alone at the time.

someone asked where the people came from and he replied:
he owned up to his own mistakes.
They were gardeners trimming the trees in the island-divider in the center of the road. I was in the left lane when one of them stepped back into the road. I was doing about 40 mph over the posted speed limit of 45 mph when I lost control of my car, so it was really not "their" fault as much as my own.
