Aftermarket steering wheel. Driver's airbag is normally in the factory steering wheel.

The handbrake was used after the crash.

After the car comes to a stop after the wreck, he puts the parking brake on before he gets out of the car.

The steering wheel broke. Only the rim came off... Made of the finest Chinesium.

No seat belt... The guy is a first class idiot!
