Default Munched GT3 on 101 today?

Was on the 101 by the 92 heading North during rush hour and saw a white 997GT3 get side-swiped/munched by a truck Hope it wasn't anyone on here... Side looked pretty messed up Looked like it had a roll bar (TC Design) in it but otherwise stock.... Sad to see and hope nobody was hurt

I saw the car but from the driver's side. At least it was low impact.

Looked like a significant amount of body damage and the rear muffler was hanging down;(

101 should be avoided as much as possible.
