It might me not as bad as u guys think, the roof is definitely cut off by tools of the rescue workers. and if u look at pic #6, the interior still look pretty intact.

I find it amazing how well it crumpled. sure it looks a mess, but the cockpit is relatively intact!

In Sweden a Volvo S90 with five young people skidded of the road after taking a high speed corner way to fast in the rain. The police estimated the speed to "well over 100km/h". The car hit a tree going almost sideway. The tree that was fairly big (guessing little over 30cm in diameter) split the car in two halves in line with the windshield. The drivetrain and the engine were found 60 metres from the car. The only real injuries in this accident was one broken finger on a passenger. naturally all of them quite schocked but with modern cars that are built to crumble under pressure it sometimes can look much worse than it actually is.
My tip is to drive safely on public roads for everyones safety..

Lucky guys. I'm sure they will never drive that way... Probably more than one will never drive a car.
|
Hoepfully they've learned a lesson. Although I have a friend that has rolled two cars and has accidents all the time. Unfortunately some people never learn.

Shouldn't his license be revoked if he causes accidents all the time? I mean it seems like the rational thing to do.
That crash looks sick but, like everyone else here, I'm surprised to see the interior being almost intact.

looks like most of the damage was to the frount of the car, as was said eirlier the seats are still intact.
im not sure how the engine managed to dislodge itself from the car.
atleast the driver is ok.

Most European cars are designed that way: The engine dislocates itself upon impact to prevent the front passengers from being crushed.

For his and other peoples safety that would absolutely be the best solution. But it's not that easy to revoke a drivers license in Sweden. He has never been under the influence while crashing and for some reason only one of his rolls resulted in a reckless driving sentence. You must get three of those in 2 years time to lose your license. And for some strange reason he never gets caught speeding.

Crap, that IS a bad crash. Mechanically speaking, though, the more the car itself disintegrated, the less energy inflicted on the driver, so in essence, the car still protected the driver, despite the sordid condition of the remnants.
What wigs me out is that you can't see much of a track or skid trail from that car in /any/ of the pictures. That car must have FLOWN....
The gods protect me from drivers that can do that!
