Reckless driving on public roads has always been a nuisance for society. If such driving results in a disastrous crash, it can be especially devastating, particularly if the car involved is as expensive as a Porsche 911. Unfortunately, such an accident occurred in the early hours of May 11th when a speeding Porsche 911 crashed into a tree and burst into flames.
The incident occurred around 4 am on Golf Course Road in Gurugram, where a red Porsche 911 S Turbo worth nearly Rs. 4 crore burned to ashes following a high-speed crash. Witnesses claim that the driver of the Porsche 911 was allegedly drunk and driving at an uncontrollable speed at the time of the accident.
Under the influence of alcohol, the driver lost control of the steering wheel and collided with a divider on the Golf Course Road. The car then crashed into a tree beside the service lane. Due to the intensity of the collision, the Porsche 911 was completely destroyed, and due to a spark that emerged after the accident, the sports car burnt down to ashes.

The sound and intensity of the fire attracted many witnesses who called the fire brigade. The firefighters arrived at the scene but were unable to save the car, which was charred beyond repair. Parts of the car flew up in the air due to the high-intensity crash, and many of them landed far from the accident site.
At the time of the accident, there were two men inside the Porsche 911, both of whom were under the influence of alcohol. Both men managed to escape the burning car and fled the accident site.
Based on the car’s registration number found at the accident site, it has been determined that the car was registered in Chandigarh and was heading towards Sikandarpur before the accident occurred. The whereabouts of the two men are unknown, but the Gurugram police are investigating the case based on the car’s registration number.
Car fires can happen because of various different reasons. We are not sure what triggered the fire in this Porsche but accidents at high speed can cause a leak in the fuel line, which can turn into a major fire. Since the police are still investigating the accident, the exact reason behind the crash remains unknown. However, in most high profile cases where expensive cars are involved, details seldom come out.
