Prince George’s County Fire/EMS Department Chief Spokesman Mark Brady says as bad as this looks everyone pretty much walked away from this crash with minor injuries. Sort of walked away, because the driver of the Jeep Cherokee needed a little help in getting safely down from his position at the top of the pile.

For the driver of the Porsche Boxster it was his lucky day. Again, sort of. He did survive what could have been serious injury of death when the Porsche ended up underneath the Jeep at 12:30 this afternoon on Route 1 near Greenbelt Road in College Park. That’s the very good news.

The other part of the story may have you understanding why the driver may not feel so lucky. Here is what Brady wrote in his press release:

Apparently, the owner of the Porsche Boxster, purchased used just yesterday, allowed an associate, an adult male, to take his car out for a “spin.” As the Boxster approached traffic stopped at a red light, the operator could not stop the vehicle in time before it collided with the rear end of the Jeep. The front end of the Boxster went underneath the rear end of the Jeep, lifting it up off the ground, “spinning” the jeep backwards and on top of the Boxster. Fortunately, everyone involved was able to walk away from the crash, after a little help from firefighters.

As Brady pointed out, not quite the spin anyone bargained for.
