Held up quite well?

Is it me, or has the door opened mid crash and half a fence ended up in the footwell?!

I often like to use the door to get out of a car I've just crashed... maybe that's why it's open?

You crash often?

Are we taking bike crashes into account?

[i]landed in a field.[/i]

Certainly looks like it fell out of an aeroplane. From a great height!

"Held"... ๐Ÿ™ I shall go and hang myself.

The car cleared the fence. It must of barrel rolled half a dozen times.

I hope the occupants made it.

IIRC all modern Renaults do well in NCAP tests.
Passenger compartment looks pretty intact.

We're told not. Dunno how reliable that is, but please bear that in mind in the ensuing discussion.

I thought that if occupants were trapped that the first thing that happened was that the roof would come off.

Yep occupants must have walked out or the roof woud have been straight off.

Is this the one on the M5 near the M42 junction today ?
I always assume that if the motorway's closed for several hours, it's a fatality.

Why post this topic? Do you know the occupants? Plenty of crash pics on google images if you are interested in how your model does. However why post this topic?

The rear door skin has peeled right off. Plastic perhaps ?
