Police say speed (obviously) and alcohol are likely factors in the crash. A 20-year-old passenger suffered “significant injuries” and is in critical condition, but is expected to survive, according to ABC7 Detroit. Another 19-year-old passenger and the driver also suffered more minor injuries.
In the 11-second surveillance footage clip released by Ann Arbor Police on YouTube, we can see the Taycan speeding down the road when the driver attempted to make a left turn. From the looks of it, she clipped a curb and lost control. She then hit another curb sideways, and that’s what sent the car airborne. From there, the car flipped multiple times through a gas station and eventually came to a rest in an adjacent parking lot.

“It shows the importance of wearing your seatbelt. Seatbelts save lives and that was a very big reason all three occupants were able to survive this violet crash, police told ABC7 Detroit.
