Speed estimate anyone?
Judging by the skid Mark's, they hit the curb on the wrong laneway going completely sideways.
All bets are off about where or how high it's going once it starts flipping at 100+mph. In my limited opinion.
I agree, Good observation Dog. That T-Line Pole has a side-down guy wire attached to a guy anchor rod. The head of anchor rod looks like it's few feet out of ground. We've had many cars and trucks hit our down guys causing some to rollover, some go airborne, some get stuck and just dangle. It's normally pretty easy to tell if a down guy was struck, cause it usually drops slack into wire and requires re-tensioning of down guy wires and sometimes replacement of bent anchor rod.I bet they hit that down guide on the pole & that sent it airborne.

Look at the skid marks, and is still carrying enough speed to get airborne. More money than brains, ran out of talent.

Haha, I see what you did there.They must have really been fly'n! .....
I don’t know why people buy those Porsche death traps, they are just modified Volkswagens. you’ll never catch me in one, they crash ALL the time. Everyone crashes and dies in them, they clearly are not up to the task, are unsafe and are not roadworthy. First Paul Walker , now this. They literally just fly off the road.
I’m just applying the SXS safety squad logic to this accident.
it’s also because they are financed

People think just because they own one they are race car drivers. They clearly are not up to the task, are unsafe and are not roadworthy. First Paul Walker , now this. Porsches literally just fly off the road.

Yep and we covered that too!
From that angle I think you're right. The news reported the convertible Boxster went over the curb down a slope and hit a embankment before the parking lot launching it airborne into the building where it landed upside down.Close up from the Instagram. Based on the skid marks looks like the car was sideways when it hit the second curb and guy wire looks tight?

Are you sure? I was thinking It's "too soon". But I did go to public school.It’s “to soon”.
