According to many witnesses, while experiencing the Porsche Cayman GTS, the customer pressed the PSM (Porsche Stability Management) button to activate the electronic active control system. Previously, the customer was told not to press this button but the mistake still happened. Immediately after that, the Porsche Cayman GTS lost control and swerved into the opposite lane before hitting a tanker with license plate 54S-4156.

In addition, the rims and one side of the rear taillight were also damaged in the accident. Inside the cockpit, the airbags also deployed to protect the driver from injury.
