Sadly, there was another vintage Porsche crash this past weekend near San Diego:
Police: Pot smoking may have caused accident in Scripps Ranch
A woman who may have been smoking marijuana while driving jumped a curb and rammed her Toyota Corolla into a Porsche 356A Speedster critically injuring its occupants on Sunday, 27 March 2016. The Toyota driver has been arrested. Read more at http://www.cbs8.com/story/31578913/p...-scripps-ranch
That particular Speedster was profiled at http://petrolicious.com/1956-porsche-356-speedster and http://petrolicious.com/former-porsc...an-diego-hills.
Update:
911 Media Group, a freelance/stringer company based in San Diego California, posted a longer video: bad news in an update: http://www.911mediagroup.com/#!2-Lif...f2e3ce9bb2a482 and an update saying “The DUI suspect has 3 prior DUI convictions, the 2 passengers in the Porsche are still on Life support, and considered to be Brain Dead.” The statement that both occupants of the Porsche were Brain Dead seems to have been incorrect, at least regarding the driver.
In 911 Media Group’s video interview, emergency responders were unable to confirm that one of the occupants of the Speedster had died.
Some Better and Worse News
Apparently, the Speedster’s owner is also a Ferrari guy. From Ferrari Chat Bullfighter in Hospital - Hit head-on by DUI
29 March 2016: I think that Jon may be doing better. His brother posted to friends on Facebook that Jon is ok with using his right side easily but struggling with his left side - the side of the impact. He also said that his friend, Amanda, is “getting off life support.” Unfortunately, I don’t know if that is the good kind of getting off or bad, but I will guess the good kind. His brother asked to keep them both in your prayers.
29 March 2016: Latest News from Jon’s brother that he is in Sharp Memorial Hospital. So maybe the local crew with Eric’s help can bring some big red flowers and a card over and take up a collection. I’m sure it will brighten his spirits knowing we are in his corner. Maybe Eric can list a PayPal email or PM it to us to send some cash to cover the costs.
30 March 2016: Latest news from Jon's brother: He is in and out of consciousness and will be in the ICU for another week. He may not understand the severity of what has happened. Then he will be moved to a general room for a month of care and then rehab for strength, mobility etc.
31 March 2016: “I've joined this forum just to be able to make a connection on this thread. I am a colleague of Amanda's at Fullerton College and have been following this thread to see how Jon is doing. I can confirm that Amanda did not survive her injuries.”
31 March 2016: “The DA had special investigators at the accident scene and is laying the groundwork for murder charges. The Toyota Corolla involved in the accident is registered to a Ms Mi Kim. It has not been fully verified if she was behind the wheel or if someone else was driving so hopefully we can all let the judicial process work as it is supposed to.”
