Lindsay Lohan grabbed headlines once again this week thanks to her driving ability. The troubled actress is no stranger to problems behind the wheel, and she continued the trend over the weekend when she got in an accident with an 18-wheeler. Though the damage looked serious, credit should be given to her Porsche 911 for helping her avoid serious injury, USA Today reports.

The accident occurred while Lohan was on her way to the set of her latest project, a made-for-TV movie about the decades-long relationship between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. TMZ reports the car was totaled and her assistant, who was riding with her, was slightly injured as well.

Although Lohan was taken to the hospital after the crash, she was released a short time later. Experts say her walking away relatively unscathed is testament to the impressive safety features of her luxury sports car. The latest version of the 911 features six airbags which help protect occupants in the event of both head-on and offset crashes. Additionally, the vehicle was made with new high-strength steel.

"Particular attention was paid in designing and engineering the junctions of the A-pillars [the struts on either side of the windshield that support the roof] and the roof frame, as well as the safety structure involved in head-on and offset collisions," the company told USA Today.

Whether driving a Porsche or a decades-old used car, nothing is more important than safety. One of the best ways to ensure you're driving the safest car possible is to get regular tune ups at New Jersey State Auto Auction Total Car Care Center, which will be able to meet all your automotive needs.
