Ooooh OUCH!!

It almost looks like what hit it left an impression on the panels - I've not seen panel damage like that before.

What's even worse than the impression on the panel is the impression left by the head that hit the windshield.

I've seen this kind of damage before. It really looks like a motorcycle...

If you click on the link it purports to describe the accident. A suburban at 45 mph broad sides the 993 after the 993 went over the centerline, so it says.

....that would have had to have been on hell of a motorcycle to punch the side that way.

I doubt that the windscreen damage is caused by a human head. For the head to surge forward as you suggest, the car would have had to be in a frontal collision. I hope there was no passenger in the vehicle!

How could crossing the centerline get you broadsided? Head on yes...

I'd say more likely it was already beginning one of perhaps many rotations.
