Is this one of the top 10 wonders of car accidents? It doesn't look like a car accident at all...

looks more like modern art than a car crash. I doubt very much that this happened, the forces to required to crush the chassis compared to the forces needed to bend the tree over aren't anywhere near each other. Its not even a particuarly wide tree....

isn't there blue string holding the door to the rear end going diagonally across in the second picture? I dont see any police around and if it had been an accident, surely they would have removed it as its a bit of a danger to people and other cars if they had another crash there?

Looks like the car turned into a snake and decided to warp around the tree....

It's art, I believe from Poland or so, to warn young drivers for the risks of speeding. Look how the tree hardly has any damage.....
