On May 7, some netizens posted a video on social platforms to break the news that a Porsche in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province was rear-ended with multiple cars. Footage from the scene shows that the car was seriously damaged, the front of the car was shattered, and some people fell to the ground. According to eyewitnesses, the accident occurred in the morning, and the Porsche was driving extremely fast, and did not take effective braking measures against the vehicle in front of it, but directly hit the rear of the truck. The dashcam captured the thrilling scene, in which the truck was pushed several meters ahead after being hit, even affecting the white sedan waiting for a traffic light in front of it, causing a chain reaction.

After the accident, the local traffic police and fire department responded quickly and arrived at the scene for rescue. Subsequently, the police reported: the Porsche driver died after rescue failed, and a passenger of the hit vehicle suffered minor injuries, and the cause of the accident is under further investigation.

The editor of "Automobile Professional Network" noticed that netizens had a lot of discussions about the cause of the accident.

"The whole process is basically elevated at normal speed, no speeding, 3 seconds before the collision suddenly left and right turn signals flashed, and accelerated violently, which should be caused by a hurry, and the cab directly rear-ended the right rear side of the truck in front of it."

"During the accident, after the chaotic operation of the turn signal, the Porsche not only did not slow down, but accelerated, and finally crashed into the small truck waiting for the red light in front, and most likely rushed out without seeing the red light."

"Such an expensive car, crashed like this, the front of the car was completely destroyed, the A-pillar failed to withstand the pressure, only the rear of the car remained, the person was gone on the spot, and the quality was not good. I don't know what the specific speed is, and it doesn't look too fast from the video, why the car accident was so tragic, I can't figure it out. ”······

The well-known car blogger Jia Shipai said that in the accident, Porsche looked at the rear-end truck without slowing down at all, and the vehicle almost got into the bottom of the large truck, resulting in complete damage to the vehicle's A-pillar, B-pillar and the entire body, driver, and side body, and the passenger compartment has been unable to remain intact, which can almost be concluded to be the main cause of the driver's death. In addition, he also revealed that this kind of collision that drilled into the bottom of the large truck can be said to be the most severe, because almost the stress part is near the A-pillar, and the front anti-collision beam and other structures can not play a good protective role.

Another car blogger said that the first is the speed, and the second is the offset collision of a light truck, which is fatal and completely beyond the crash test. "The safety of a million-dollar Porsche Cayenne is no worse than that of a cheaper car, and safety is also a pile of costs. All kinds of comments are full of "brainless" comments such as "Porsche can't do it", this kind of collision intensity, no one can do ordinary civilian cars. ”

Zhejiang University power machinery and engineering doctor, Weibo new knowledge blogger "Lao Heshan driver" also agrees with this, he said that the Porsche Cayenne, as the flagship SUV of the luxury brand, the entry version of the price is at the million level, and the safety performance should be better than the vast majority of passenger cars on the market. The car that was hit was only a light truck, and it was still empty. This once again confirms that "in front of the big car, the car is like paper paste", and the reason is that the structure of the car is still too high, which makes it difficult for the longitudinal beam structure of the car to bear the impact.

Compared with the rear-end truck that drilled the bottom of the truck not long ago, the "old Heshan driver" believes that the impact angle of this accident is more tricky. The cargo compartment of the light truck is wider than the wheels, and this is a small overlapping offset impact, starting with the A-pillar. The corners of the truck's cargo compartment tore apart the Cayenne's A-pillars, B-pillars, and roof, and the living space of the cockpit was severely damaged. This kind of accident is far beyond the scope of the design of the vehicle's passive safety, and the safety of the driver and passengers cannot be guaranteed in the face of such a collision with a large car. In response to the comments of some people online, there should be no unrealistic expectations for the safety of passenger cars.
