Boxster Crash
 
In picture #3 (at the bottom) you can see the road she was travelling on.

Possibly speeding....

That was a HARD shunt... That boxster is darn near folded in half through the rockers....

They had to cut the roof off so it likely was not a Boxster. It is hard to tell with what remains.

It's a Boxster, roll hoops right behind the seats, side air vent, parts of the convertible top still there.

Ugly.

The roof appears to have been a convertible roof/top.

It's a Boxster. They cut the roof off with a pocket knife.:cool:

In England...?

A Chrysler 300 and two GMC trucks in the pic (one looks like it has a US plates)? Looks like Iowa or something.

Canada. London Ontario. Not London England.

The dash is not supposed to be in your lap.

"Speed well in excess of 100 km/h."

Uh, I hit that in my driveway.

A couple who saw the crash said the Porsche was travelling at an extremely high rate of speed as it crested the overpass and headed down the hill towards Dundas just before 1 p.m.

A man who said he was in a car behind the Porsche when the crash occurred estimated the Porsche’s speed to be well in excess of 100 km/h.
Really? 62+ mph is an extremely high rate of speed over there? No wonder they drive POS sheetboxes and build cars as flimsy as jag-u-ars.

Look at the road. Well in excess of 60 mph would be considered a high rate of speed in a 30 mph zone. Look how far the car ended up from the 'initial point of impact'... Or put another way, 60+ is pretty fast to be going through that intersection. Even if the light was green.

And that was witnesses estimate, not an accident reconstruction estimate.

Thanks cause I was confused.

That did not look lie the London I knew and could not figure out why every car was N American.

Christien 11-13-2012 03:09 PM
Way to read the article sammy. It's London Ontario Canada. And yeah, 100 km/h or 60 mph is a pretty high rate of speed for a city street no matter how you look at it. I thought you were the law-and-order type?

It's a 50km/hr zone so she was 30mph over the speed limit. A Rennlister's sister-in-law btw.

I'd always heard that if you go from a speed as low as 35mph to zero instantly, it can be fatal.

Anybody else hear this, too?

Looking at the car, I'm amazed she wasn't killed.

Bill Douglas 11-13-2012 07:19 PM
She was probably doing twice the speed limit and didn't stop after the first accident because she was late for her latte meet with the girls.

Firefighters jackets say Middlesex London. That will not buff right out.
