Shit, I drive that way every single day to work. Its right between Angel stadium and the Pond on the 57 freeway....Poor guy in the 914, I am so glad he is alive.. By the looks of the damage, he was rear ended on the drivers side.

Hopefully the CHP does the DUI driver up professionally.

Best wishes to the 914 owner. DUI's need far harsher penalties. IMHO.

Thank God the 914 driver looks very okay!
What do you think teen owners? On this accident, middle body of the car or the long/running board just bent easily, should we add additional bracket inside our doors to keep it more strong? Since our door specially early doors does not have any impact support and Targa top does not really help to support the front body against the other half of the body. I have seen several 914 ads that when it got into accident, the middle body bent or kneel down.

Just wondering!

I doubt seriously that a 3rd brake light would have prevented this seeing as how the driver that hit him was drunk. He was probably seeing 5 or 6 brake lights at that time

Does anyone recognise this car or the driver? Is it anyone we know? Was this a recent accident or awhile ago?

Realistically, any convertible or targa type body style will always be at greater risk of folding up the passenger compartment when compared to a hardtop/coupe type body. The side intrusion bars that were added to the later style doors help somewhat, but physics will still limit how much they can do.

I think anyone will agree that today's cars (with their designed crumple zones and progressive deformation design) are much safer than older designs, so one has to be all that much more aware of your surroundings at all times and don't assume the other drivers see you. There's a reason I like yellow for my cars, it's the most visible color according to studies that have been done.

All in all, I'm amazed that the 914 holds up as well as it does in a crash such as this!

He must have lost consciousness or had pain in the chest or abdomen. C-Collar is pretty standard for anyone who meets trauma protocol so is the IV. If he is bleeding internally, and starts to lose blood pressure, they can give fluid rapidly.

Looks like an Asian woman to me. Guy is very lucky... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The 914 deformed on impact, absorbing the energy like it was designed to. It looks like the driver was cut out of the car; they probably wanted to move the driver as little as possible before immobilizing them on the stretcher. A black car at night probably didn’t help, but if your turn their not much you can do.

Wow, hope they go to jail for DUI.

You can see the targa top on the ground while the CHP is cuffing her.

Sad to see a 914 parish like that. Hope the driver is ok.
