Porsche Girl update: What was Nikki Catsouras diagnosed with?
Nikki Catsouras was a troubled girl who had gone through series of treatments after she was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was eight years old. The Doctors told her parents Lesli and Christos that they did not think she would survive; however, upon testing, the tumor was found to be benign (non-cancerous).
Even at that, Nicole still had to undergo intensive radiation treatments. The physicians voiced concerns related to the potential effects that these treatments may be having on her young brain, stating that potential effects may include changes in her judgement and or impulse control.
How did Porsche Girl accident happen?
Nikki Catsouras’s parents had discovered that Nikki had used cocaine on October 30, 2006, and they contemplated hospitalizing her; however, they decided against it because she was due to visit a psychiatrist the following day and the psychiatrist she was scheduled to see specialized in brain disorders.
Nikki Catsouras, her mom and her father ate lunch together and sadly, an argument ensued, which led to Christos taking away the keys to her car. Nikki got furious and then chose to steal the keys to her dad’s gorgeous $150,000 Porsche Carrera.
According to several sources, Catsouras’ mother had informed her father of the stolen Porsche shortly after she took it for a ride. In order to help find his daughter, he decided to drive around and decided its best to call 9-1-1. Just minutes before the accident occurred, he was placed on hold. Sadly, after being taken off hold, the dispatcher informed him of the accident.
After taking her father’s keys, Catsouras decided to go for a joyride and was traveling on the 241 Toll Road in Lake Forest, California. While Catsouras was driving at super fast speeds of over 100 miles per hour, she hit a Honda that was driving at speeds of around 70 miles per hour, nearly killing people in the vehicle.
Then, Catsouras lost control of her vehicle, which caused the Porsche to go off the highway where she barely missed killing others. She crashed at full speed into an unmanned concrete toll booth where she was killed instantly on impact.
Where was Porsche Girl buried?
Nikki Catsouras also known as the ‘Porsche Girl’ was buried at the Pacific View Memorial Park. May her soul rest in peace.
