Default Palm Beach Crash

Can anyone work out what model car this is?

Was trying to look at lettering on back.

Dodge ? Ford? Grange?

That's some dodgy engineering. Would expect a great wall to look like that after colliding with a wall. Seen Falcons hit at 200kph and still clearly recognisable.

I am sure they do . I thought Falcons were limited to 180km/h?

Any modern car with panels that you can't even lean on without denting and which is full of plastic and crumple zones is going to be unrecognizable at even 100kph, much less 200...

I thought the rear wheel there had a little logo that kind of looked like a BMW one...but who knows?

Looks a bit like my wreck when someone pulled out on the hwy in front of me and I collected him.

My car was completely unrecognisable but it was due to it being cut apart by the jaws of life rather than the accident damage.
Same thing has happened here, you can see how they have peeled the roof back.

VW Tiguan involved in a massive rollover. Notice the basic cabin structure of the car kept intact.

Two survived, one killed - from being ejected from the cabin (no seatbelt)

Tonight's TV news stated the two sisters left Currumbin Surf Club restaurant in an intoxicated state and had been asked not to drive by fellow patrons.
