2 men dead after Porsche crashes into second floor of Toms River building
TOMS RIVER, N.J. - Police say a car crashed into the second floor of a New Jersey business, killing two people.
Toms River police say the red Porsche hit the building at about 6:30 a.m. Sunday and lodged into the second story.
Sgt. Vincent Padalino says the building, which is across from Hooper Avenue Elementary School, was unoccupied at the time.
Police said 22-year-old Braden DeMartin was driving the convertible at a high rate of speed before losing control and hitting a center median, continuing north and striking an embankment that caused the vehicle to become airborne into the building.
