I don't get the physics of this one. If they were facing each other on Sunset, she turning right, he turning left could she have possibly dragged that vehicle to where it is in the pic?

Yep, the internet.

He could not have been making the left turn yet, he's still back behind the limit line. Maybe he was thinking about making a left turn?

He went past the limit line. How she got that Prius there seems inexplicable. I think CA insurance works with "contributory negligence," so they may each have a percentage of blame.

I have to admit, the pictures of the scene don’t seem to jibe with the descriptions of what happened.

I think the severity of it it was way over blown by the media, I don’t think that woman had a serious injury.

He may well have been pushed past the line by the Porsche.

Even if he was making a left turn, how did her car end up where it is? If she was making some kind of U-turn, she must’ve really swung it wide to get in front of him?

If she was making a left turn, it was probably from the other direction on Sunset. A U-turn doesn't make sense considering where her car was located.

Sources from local law enforcement tell the news outlet that the actor is allegedly at fault in the situation.

I'm wondering if the damage to the right rear door and quarter panel was there before or part of this accident. It would seem odd for him to be driving the Yukon around like that. Everybody keeps identifying the Porsche as a Cayenne...

I'm thinking she may be a Kiwi chick and driving on the wrong side of the road. Who knows...
