Classic case of oversteer.

I'd say that guy ended up on his side and roof. I'd assume a rollover.

I am surprised the window frame is not bashed in. Is it that strong or did it skip the roof. I have seen roll overs like that before, where it rolls on the side and gets air, to come down on the other side again, never touching the roof ...

Maybe the transmission is still good? The engine probably has a few accessories missing ...

You can see one of the rollover bars deployed. The frame might be strong enough to absorb the impact that way?

Too bad it's not a long hood- would still be worth good bucks.

What I want to know is how you get one of the wheels wedged behind the rear / right wheel and under the engine.
