I live about ten minutes from where this crash occurred. While they did make some improvements to the intersection, it's still a weird configuration that results in frequent accidents. If memory serves, there was yet another fatal accident there within the last couple of years. Also, when you're driving from the direction that James Dean was coming from, during the afternoon there's a lot of glare form the sun and it's really hard to see oncoming cars especially dark ones.

The "real" location of the intersection has been moved a few hundred feet also iirc. Not that it made anything that much safer.

I talked with an old rancher once who saw the wrecked Porsche before they moved it. It was kept in the back of the Jack Ranch Café which is less than a mile from the crash site. he said that it was mangled and the inside cabin and dash were covered in blood. He also insinuated that some people were trying to scavenge souvenirs from it once they found out it was James Dean.

This has been debunked before. It's one of the responders laying on his belly in the grass before Dean was extricated from the car. It does look like the photos have been doctored a bit to make him look more like James Dean.
