Too bad for the car, but i'm glad the driver was alright - i would probably not bother to ring up my insurance company, as your premium is very likely to go through the roof!

EDIT: I found it. Perhaps it has been posted before. Link
The woman who drove it, drove it for a test drive someone offered her. She was severely injured. The passenger only suffered minor injuries.
I reckon this is a feature built into all of the mid-engined CF-tub cars - ensuring the passenger cell remains intact whilst ditching the (potentially explosive) engine/fuel area :bah:
