Porsche Speedster, winner of the '63 E-Production SCCA National Sports Car Championship, now a wreck. Pot smoking driver of a Toyota Corolla collided with it, head on, killing the English prof /Porsche passenger, severely injuring the owner/restorer/driver

the police say it was a head on collision, that the Toyota driver was East bound, and the Porsche West bound, and that the Toyota went over the median, so for that to be true, the force of the impact was so much that the cars spun about 90 degrees, and pushed the Porsche onto the sidewalk.

Update: 03/29/2016 The DUI suspect has 3 prior DUI convictions
Update: Apr 20th

impossible to believe from these photos that the collision was head on, and not a t-bone. But the Porsche was certainly traveling on this road and there is nothing on the other side of the road to be driving from. (Bottom of the overhead photo)

There will be a celebration of life for Amanda in the Campus Theater at Fullerton College on Sunday May 1st at 1pm. It is being initiated by students who wish to pay tribute to Amanda and the effect she had on their lives.
