Porsche lodged into second story of building after crash

Porsche lodged into second story of building after crash, police say https://www.nj.com/ocean/2019/11/porsche-lodged-into-the-second-story-of-building-after-crash-police-say.html

Police are investigating how a red Porsche ended up on the second floor of a commercial building Sunday morning on Hooper Avenue in Toms River.

The vehicle is lodged into the second story of a building that houses four businesses, including a counseling service and a real estate company, Sgt. Vincent Pedalino said.

He said the building was unoccupied at the time. The sergeant said he couldn’t release any information on the occupants of the vehicle.

The crash, which occurred around 6:30 a.m., is currently under investigation by the Toms River traffic unit as well as members of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.

Padalino said a crime scene is being established around the building, which is across from the Hooper Avenue Elementary School.

He could not release any additional information on the incident.

"This car really flies!"

"How does it land?"


Sad that two people lost their lives. Looks like a Cayman or a Boxster?

Happened at 6:30 this morning. Not a lot of details yet. A comment on FB mentioned police involvement in the crash which would explain tight lips until more is known.

Yup. The photo from the road shows just how far it flew. Must have been going well in excess of 100mph.

Stuff happens. Death sucks for the survivors but it's hard to get too wound up about a crash fatality when someone is going 100mph on a surface street and they die. I have a friend whose wife was killed w his kids in the car, doing nothing wrong at the time. Now that is tragic.

Happened at 6:30 AM, maybe a little alcohol involved?? Sad ending.

Looks like it landed upside down.

Some kids must have left one hell of a skateboard ramp on the curb. This is a head-scratcher.

If that building wasn't in the way, they might have been able to monkey-roll that. At least that's how it works in the movies.

Shiny side down when it landed. I guess with enough speed a curb will launch you pretty well. Sounds like nobody else was hurt, so that is fortunate I guess.

This.

It looks like there is a small oak tree that has been knocked down. No way that curb was able to launch the car that far, regardless of speed.

Google earth the spot, and see if there was a tree there, that the car could have slid, up the trunk.

That's near me. That is a very busy main road. I'm on it all the time. Thankfully it happened early in the morning on a weekend. The driveway to that building has a little bit of a hill next to it , but it hit past that. It was just the curb. Think the car rode up it and pulled a dukes of hazard into the second floor.

By the width of the skid marks on the second roadway, I'm going to say that it hit the final curb going 80mph sideways. If the suspension was bouncing just right from the curb it hit a millisecond previously, that could have launched it into outer space. But the building was in the way.

When I was a school boy two friends, shall we call them Neville and John, were doing drifties and clipped a power pole. Somehow they smashed a hole in the upstairs office wall of Groombridge plumbers. AND walked away fairly much OK. The car they were flying at the time was a Datsun 120SSS. So not completely unheard of.

here is a view from Google Maps.



Those people were booking fast, and in a slow spin.



No ABS braking ? or they were slideways even before the first curb.
