COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The owner of a Porsche Boxster is likely regretting his decision to let a co-worker take his new car out for a 'spin' in Maryland on Friday. His afternoon joyride turned ugly when he crashed into a Jeep Cherokee, which landed on top of the convertible. Luckily, no one was hurt.

Prince George's County officials say it happened on Friday around 12:30 p.m. on Route 1 (Baltimore Avenue) near Greenbelt Road in College Park. They say when they arrived at the scene of the two-car crash, they found a Jeep Cherokee lying on top of the Porsche Boxster, which had its convertible top open.

EMS and fire crews quickly rescued one person who was trapped inside the wreckage of the Jeep Cherokee, but no one was seriously hurt.

The owner of the Porsche told police he just bought the used sports car on Thursday, and he allowed a male co-worker to take it out for a 'spin'.

As the driver was approaching traffic stopped at the red light, police say he wasn't able to stop in time. The front end of the Porsche went underneath the back of the Jeep, lifting it up off the ground and spinning it backwards. It landed on top of the Porsche.

That's likely not the type of 'spin' the owner of the car

That's not far from my neck of the woods either. I was just there on Route 1 a couple days ago, not far from there, with Josh (OCDetailer) for dinner at Chili's.

The owner has to be the biggest moron in the world if he let a co worker drive the car. He deserves it . I would let someone ride my damn bike let alone my high end euro sports car.

Isn't that right near SRT as well?!?

I always wonder about letting people take the car for a spin and am generally very conservative about who I let drive.

Well--the co-worker must be pretty dumb to beat his friend's brand new porsche. I drove my co-worker's new Cayanne, and I was afraid to do anything with it.

One less Boxster on the road:thumbup: Glad no one was injured! I don't even let the wife drive my F.........what was this guy thinking:confused:

I don't really trust any automakers brake systems. Even Porsche always had shortest stopping power. Cause into a crash. Driver is stupid guy.

Best part is that it's "totaled".

how does this work with the car insurance?

the owner that was insured wasn't in the car.....so??

I know exactly where that spot is...........well it's only a Boxster and not a 911 lol......

Looks like the driver is very lucky he isn't even hurt ..... never let a co-worker, or even your best friend drive your sports car ;)
