This is on the Youtube webpage regarding this accident. I am including it for your information and to say a prayer for someone whom we may or may not know, but who has a love for the 914 Porsche. Hopefully this will not take his life.
Be careful brethren and watch your six.... Published on Apr 13, 2013- The driver of a vintage 1970s Porsche 914 is in critical condition after his car was struck at high speed by an alleged drunk driver. The crash happened around 12:30 AM on the NB 57 Fwy near Katella Ave in Anaheim. It took Firefighters from Anaheim & Orange nearly an hour to cut the man free from the badly mangled Porsche using the jaws of life and other tools. At total of 3 cars were involved in the incident that closed all lanes but one on the NB 57 for 2 hours. The female driver of the vehicle that struck the Porsche was placed under arrest for Felony DUI at the scene by the CHP. This update was posted on April 16, 1100hrs, written by a family member... He has a broken jaw, femur, ribs, facial bones, and spine. His lung was punctured and one of his kidneys is in danger of failing. He's been in a medically induced coma since it happened and has yet to know if he will be paralyzed for life. One second can change so much! |

If this is true, he was seriously under-treated by EMS on scene. |

[/quote] If this is true, he was seriously under-treated by EMS on scene. [/quote] I saw that one knee was up - my first thought was that was to help maintain bp. Correct? I agree that a newer car is safer, but I am always amazed at how the central chassis stays pretty much in shape in hard crash photos. I also want a bright color. |
