An out-of-control Porsche crashed into a roadside tree and burst into flames after colliding with an electric bicycle in eastern China.

Dramatic CCTV footage filmed in Zhoushan City in Zhejiang Province on August 13, shows a Porsche, which appeared to run a red light, striking an electric bicycle violently. The car then veered uncontrollably into a tree, with the front of the vehicle severely deformed and engulfed in a rapidly spreading fire.

Firefighters arrived quickly but were unable to prevent the severe damage to the Porsche, which was left a charred shell. Despite their efforts, the driver, Mr Tang, was confirmed dead. The cyclist, Mr Hu, was injured but survived after medical treatment.

The Zhoushan Traffic Police are investigating the incident, with further details on the cause and responsibility expected once the inquiry is complete.

8月13日清晨5时许，浙江省舟山市定海区东河中路与解放东路十字路口处发生一起惨烈的道路交通事故。一辆保时捷轿车（疑似保时捷718）在行驶过程中与一辆电动自行车发生碰撞，随后失控撞上路边的绿化树并瞬间起火，造成轿车司机死亡、电动自行车驾驶人受伤的重大后果。

据现场监控视频显示，事故发生时，保时捷轿车疑似闯红灯通过路口，与正常行驶的电动自行车发生猛烈碰撞。碰撞后，保时捷轿车失去控制，高速冲向路口对面的绿化树。撞击瞬间，车辆前部发生严重变形，随后燃起熊熊大火，火势迅速蔓延至整个车身。现场目击者称，火势之大，使得整辆车很快就被火焰完全吞噬。

接到报警后，当地消防部门迅速调派救援力量赶赴现场进行灭火和救援工作。然而，由于火势过于猛烈，保时捷轿车已被严重烧毁，成为一具空壳。经过消防人员的全力扑救，火势最终被控制并熄灭，但轿车司机唐某（男，湖北人）已不幸身亡。电动自行车驾驶人胡某（男，舟山人）虽然受伤，但经送医抢救后已无生命危险。

事故发生后，舟山市公安局交通警察支队迅速介入调查，并发布了警情通报。通报称，该起事故正在进一步调查中，具体的事故原因和责任认定将待调查结果出炉后公布。
