TOMS RIVER, N.J. Police released the identities of the two men who died after the red Porsche in which they were riding went airborne into the second story of a real estate office in New Jersey early Sunday.

Braden DeMartin, 22, and Daniel Foley, 23, both of Toms River, were deceased when emergency units arrived on scene, police said.

Police said the sports car driven by DeMartin was speeding when the vehicle lost control, hit the median and went airborne into the second story of EXIT Realty Elite. The accident happened around 6:30 a.m. Sunday, police said.

The red Porsche Boxster was clearly visible upside down in the second story. Toms River building inspector John Gerrity deemed the building unsafe, police said.

The road was closed for roughly seven hours between 6:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., police said. The accident remains under investigation by Toms River traffic safety officers.

Given the ages of the occupants and the style of car, I'm gonna guess they weren't following strict road safety rules.

Oh, plus the fact they hit the second story of a building.

From the article:

DeMartin was driving a red 2010 Porsche Boxster convertible at a high rate of speed northbound on Hooper Avenue when he lost control, crossed over the roadway and hit an embankment, said Jillian Messina, a spokeswoman for the Toms River Police Department. The car then plunged into the second story of a building on the southbound side of Hooper Avenue around 6:30 a.m, according to police.

Thatll be an interesting obituary.

What a way to go.

It's one of those situations like with Paul Walker. Yeah, it sucks that it went bad and he died, but y'all should know better than to be driving like that on public roads. They're not exactly race-grade.
