Ann Arbor police have reported a severe accident involving an electric Porsche AG Taycan that went airborne and crashed at nearly 100 mph, leaving a 20-year-old man critically injured. The crash occurred early Saturday morning around 4 a.m. near Plymouth Road and Broadway Street, with speed and alcohol seeming to be contributing factors in the near-fatal incident, according to Hoodline.
The 20-year-old passenger was rushed to the University of Michigan hospital still remains hospitalized, yet is expected to survive, while the two 19-year-old women also in the vehicle have been released after sustaining only minor injuries, as reported by The Detroit News, which also shared Ann Arbor police's statement on Friday highlighting the importance of seatbelt use, citing them as a major factor in the survival of the car's occupants.
Police, alongside fire officials, extracted the man using the Jaws of Life from the severely damaged car, officials reported, and shocking security footage showed the high-speed vehicle traveling near 100 m.p.h before the crash announcing the perils of impaired driving, MLive detailed.
Witnesses on the scene saw the tire fly off the Porsche, breaking through the windshield of another parked car debris and parts of the wrecked Porsche were scattered across the parking lot where the car eventually came to a rest, the vivid aftermath painting a stark portrait of the event's violence. Investigators are piecing together the remnants of the Saturday morning crash and Ann Arbor police are still investigating to discern the full details of this distressing episode that resulted in three people getting injured one critically so, according to Hoodline.
