The Chester County Coroner’s Office released the official autopsy results, which reveal both Ryan and Zachary were dead before the officials arrived at the scene. The crash was extremely violent, so it’s impossible to determined if they died from impacted or the fire that consumed the Porsche afterward.

The authorities are currently investigating the causes of the accident. They believe speed was an important factor in the accident. The toxicology results, which will be released in four to six weeks, will help determine if alcohol was also a factor.

Unless you were there, and saw it or experienced it, how can you make such a statement as “both died very violent and painful deaths”? It could have been that they were both knocked out by the initial impact with the guard rail, and died very peaceful deaths due to being unconscious. Or God (or whatever diety you happen to believe in), knowing they were not going to survive, pulled their spirits from the car a moment before impact, and they happilly watched the rest of the wreck from heaven (or whatever eternal happy resting place you happent to believe in). Your claim that “both died very violent and painful deaths” is an ignorant and irresponsible statement.
I’ve been in a high impact crash and NO you don’t always get knocked out thanks to airbags and seat belts. These two were in a Porsche. Very good safety equipment, very well could have kept them conscious even with the violent crash. These officers do this every single day. They saw the scene and would know what they are talking about but any fool would know this was a violent crash.
The impact of our crash was so violent we were trapped but the airbags kept our heads safe so we were awake to feel all of the pain and misery. My screams where heard all the way down the highway. We also could not move our bodies due to the shock of the impact and our legs from entrapment. What went through my mind besides the pain? OMG if this car catches on fire I won’t be able to get out. We will die here. I now understand how people burn alive in cars, your body won’t let you move.
Also it has been proven that they were drinking. Which makes it an even bigger possibility of being awake because your body is so relaxed you don’t tense up and cause your body more injury that normally would happen. That’s why drunk drivers walk away a lot of the time while the innocent die.
So many people think you just black out but it’s not always so. Especially now days. Our car did that to us. I couldn’t imagine an expensive car like that.
It’s all a sad reminder that people need to stop being ignorant on the road. I can hardly get on the road myself now becuase I know what it feels like to get hit at high impact. 2 years of therapy still won’t erase what I now know. The kid who hit us head on had many other infractions too just like this driver but nothing changed him until that accident.
