The Disney driving instructor who was killed in a Lamborghini crash Sunday tried to grab the wheel in a desperate attempt to prevent a collision, as investigators say the car may have been speeding in the wrong direction around the track. Tavon Watson, 24, was doing 100mph at the Exotic Driving Experience at Walt Disney World in Orlando when he slammed the $220,000 Lamborghini on the passenger side into a guardrail, killing 35-year-old race track employee Gary Terry. Florida Highway Patrol Sgt Kim Montes revealed Tuesday that the guardrail damaged the Italian car on the east side of the passenger door. Desperate effort: Investigators say Disney driving instructor Gary Terry (left) grabbed for the wheel of an out-of-control Lamborghini operated by Trevor Watson (right) and counter-steer before the car crashed into a guardrail . 'Guess who's driving a Ferrari 458 Italia LSTRF today?': Watson uploaded this picture to Facebook in celebration of his birthday with this message: 'But really. I thankyou Lord for keeping in your presence long enough to endure another day that just so happens to be my birthday' The FHP is now investigating whether cars at the private track are set up to travel in the opposite, clockwise direction of the guardrails, according to WESH-TV. Montes also said that evidence suggests Terry tried to grab the wheel and 'counter steer' the out-of-control vehicle in the moments before the deadly wreck. Video from inside the red Lamborghini reportedly showed that the car spun three times before careening into the guardrail at 100mph, causing the vulnerable passenger door to cave in into Terry. 'We're talking his whole body received the low,' Montes noted to New York Daily News. Both Watson and Terry were wearing helmets and lap and shoulder belts. Father-of-one Terry died at the scene while Watson was rushed to Celebration Hospital near Lake Buene Vista for treatment where he was later declared stable. He has since been discharged. The day out at the track was a present from Watson's wife and he posted a picture of himself next to a red Ferrari on the tarmac just hours before the fatal collision. Drive: According to his LinkedIn Terry was the operations manager at the Richard Petty Driving Experience at Walt Disney World . Outdoors: Terry, 36, originally hails from Michigan and brought his love of adventure to his new home in Kissimmee, Florida . 'Guess who's driving a Ferrari 458 Italia LSTRF today?' wrote Watson. 'That's right that's right. I ma drive all the cars they have in one day. Because I'm a gangsta like that. Lol.' Later that afternoon, Watson crashed the Lamborghini Gallardo he was driving, killing Terry, a former race car driver who was the operations manager at the Richard Petty Driving Experience at Walt Disney World. Watson doesn't face any traffic charges since the accident took place on a closed track, and there are no indications he was doing anything criminal, authorities said. 'It's not the kid's fault. It's a freak thing that happened,' said Timothy Horvath, a Terry family friend. As for Terry, 'if he thought he was in any danger, he wouldn't have done it.' Horvath said working at the Disney attraction was Terry's 'dream job.' Terry grew up in a racing family in Michigan. His brother, Adam, was also a race car driver. Terry was married with a toddler-age daughter, said Horvath, who grew up with the Terry family and runs a graphics business in Michigan that specializes in motor sports. 'Gary was one of the best,' Horvath said. 'He was a natural-born talent behind the wheel.' Watson, a hotel bellhop, described himself on his LinkedIn page as self-motivated, professionally mannered, humble and 'a very quick learner.' He told authorities he had been at the Exotic Driving Experience before.

Tragic: Gary Terry, 36, died and his driver was hospitalized after their Lamborghini crashed at Disney world . Investigators from the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration are looking into what happened. OSHA spokesman Lindsay Williams said the agency hadn't previously investigated Petty Holdings, the company that operates the track. Driving days at the track start at $99 and can cost as much as $2,500 for a full race experience with in-car video. The track is operated by Petty Holdings which also has Exotic Driving Experience franchises at speedways in Atlanta, Dayton Beach, Charlotte, New Jersey and Texas. Named after the NASCAR legend, Richard Petty, the experience lets fans drive European supercars or NASCAR vehicles at close to their top speeds of 200mph around an oval. 'It's kind of scary to think accidents do happen even though they are rides and there are precautions,' said visitor Autumn Stevenson to WFTV. The Exotic Driving Experience attraction lets racing fans be drivers or passengers in luxurious cars such as Lamborghinis, Porsches or Ferraris . Package: Thrill seekers can pay up to $2,500 to experience a day driving an Italian supercar such as a Lamborghnin Gallardo (pictured above) As part of the package, visitors are accompanied by a professional driver who sits in the passenger seat providing racing advice. It is believed that was what Terry was doing when he was killed in the Lamborghini. The racing track is just south of the iconic Magic Kingdom. 'We offer our deepest sympathies to those involved in today's tragic accident,' said Andrea Finger, spokesperson for Walt Disney World Resort. According tot he Orlando Sentinel, Petty Holdings LLC also offered its best wishes to the victims and their families. 'On behalf of everyone in the organization, it is with a very heavy heart that we extend our deepest sympathies to those involved in today's tragic accident in Orlando.' The Exotic Driving Experience, along with its sibling track, the Richard Petty Driving Experience, was slated to close this summer at Disney World for unrelated reasons.
