Porsche Macan Dangles From Russian High Rise following Accident
Look up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a–oh no! It’s a Porsche!
Residents of Moscow were treated to an unusual sight recently. And by unusual we mean both shocking and awe-inspiring. A Porsche Macan ended up hanging out of the fourth floor window of a parking structure following an accident. Thankfully no one was injured. But how exactly did this Porsche end up in such a precarious spot?
The owner of the Porsche Macan is former Russian hockey player Denis Kazionov. Kazionov and his family were parking in multi-level garage at the River Park apartments. His day took a turn for the surreal when his Porsche began to slip on the concrete floor, slick from snow. As a result he lost control of the vehicle and crashed through the wall, leaving the nose of the Porsche dangling out the window. Yikes!
Kazionov, his wife, and son all were able to escape easily. The impact left the Porsche pretty well jammed in the hole of concrete and glass.
“Yes, it was my car,” Kazionov told RT News. “I was driving together with my family, my wife and my son who was sitting in the back. It was an open parking area with just one wall on one side. The floor was smooth, as in many shopping centers. Plus, it was covered with snow.”
But this was not a case of driver error.
“I put on the brake but the car wouldn’t stop,” he says. “It continued moving until we crashed into the wall. We were in utter shock.”
Shock is indeed the right word, and a sentiment shared by many onlookers who grabbed their phones to capture the images. And they had plenty of time. The Porsche remained there for a few hours while a crew determined the safest way to extricate the Porsche.
We are glad that this story had a happy ending with no injuries. Yeah, we’re not going to lie, the images are pretty incredible too.
Snow and ice are always unpredictable. While it may not be considered a winter-friendly ride, Porsche can be a very capable ride all year round, especially if equipped with the right tires. Still, no matter how prepared one might be, the moment you feel the vehicle lose control it is often panic-inducing. There’s not much you can do but keep your cool, pump those breaks, and steer accordingly.
As for the Porsche, it too escaped in one piece, and with what appears to be minimal damage.
