Shocking accident near Los Angeles

The other day, while browsing social networking sites, an image of a Porsche whose engine had dropped out caught my eye.

According to research, a shocking accident occurred when two Porsche 911s collided in the Angeles Forest area near Los Angeles. In this accident, the impact of the collision caused the entire engine to drop out of one Porsche, an extremely rare occurrence.

The two cars involved in the accident were a 991 generation 911 and a higher performance model, the GT3 RS.

As a result of this collision, the engine mounted on the rear of the 911 is presumed to have ejected onto the road.

Surprisingly, the cockpits and glass areas of both vehicles appear relatively intact. This indicates that the occupants were likely not seriously injured. However, there was also the curious sight of one of the 911's tail lights still on after losing its engine.

Porsche has also long pursued safety at high speeds, and the 911's body structure is designed to effectively dissipate energy in the event of a collision, with a strong safety cage to ensure occupant survival space.
