    Default Bizarre Accident

    Hi all, I was just on my way home from the shopping centre and saw what I can only describe as a very bizarre car accident. I came up to a normally busy intersection (traffic light controlled) and there were people everywhere. As I approached I saw the reason. There was a late model 4wd wagon (not sure of the make) on it's roof on top of the bonnet of a car that was obviously sitting at the lights. The 4wd was facing the same direction as the car it was sitting on top of (south) There was shattered glass on the north bound section (duel lane) but no noticeable skid marks anywhere nor was there any other damaged vehicles to be seen apart from the one the 4wd was sitting on top of.

    How the hell do you roll a car at a busy major intersection where the speed limit is 60Km/h, that is what I want to know

    4WD's have a higher centre of gravity so they tend to roll easier, not to mention they are higher off the ground, so if a car hit it in the right spot, over she goeski.

    Nah wasn't an accident, car was just trialing their new bonnet badge. Its like a Chevy badge but with more wank factor.

    LOL... no it was more like a Rav 4 or similar. it wasn't a bush basher; just your average urban assalt vehicle with factory mags on it...
    I did look for a P Plate, but didn't see one... not that I had a great deal of time to to look though..
