Car flips onto its roof in dramatic crash off busy Nottingham roundabout
I make it three points (photo of car on roof, residential road and no mention of a driver).

A four pointer I'd argue. 30 zone, plenty of pictures, no driver (yet paradoxically a 'professional' driver), not a supercar but supersized, and how about half a point for both lanes blocked ' beyond rush hour!'.

All the more remarkable because it looks like a pick-up actually being used to carry heavy/bulky stuff. I like how the Mini behind is almost saying "FFS, HOW?"Â

if you change "when" to "then", you're closer to what happened here.Â
Followed by being submerged when the tide came in !
I can't find a news story, but this is just across the river from me. It's done quite a number on that telephone pole. I've biked on this stretch of road about a half dozen times.

Somewhere around here. It's a shitty 45 MPH road with no shoulder. I have a better route now.
Just spotted this comment:
If you haven't seen it, Peoria Area Scanner & Dashcam has a video of it from a dashcam posted on Facebook.
I came up on the accident while they were loading the victim onto the stretcher. It was a 19 year old girl, she actually responded to the dashcam footage on FB and said that she broke her back in two places. Â
My husband broke his back this summer so I now know more about spinal fractures than I ever thought I'd need to know. I reckon she'll have an easier recovery at 19 than my husband's had at 44. A lot of people were praying for her today, I'm so glad that she's (relatively) ok. There was a fatal accident practically spitting distance from there in July, in that case it was a drunk 16 year old who killed her friend
Here's the video, if you have Facebook.
Plus points for being a driverless car, in a 30mph area. Double bonus points for flipping over a wall and into a cemetery.Â
Minus points for only being on its side, not on the roof
Â
https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/24774117.scholemoor-cemetery...
Â
EDIT: -The newspaper is now reporting that two people have died in this incident. It appears from the news report that they were driving INSIDE the cemetery - using the roads inside the cemetery as a race track - when they flipped the car.
What an idiotic waste.

No reference to a driver or even a passenger - the nearest is "The police have confirmed that no injuries were reported due to the collision."
At 2.30pm on Saturday a small hatchback car "came to rest on its side in a precarious position" near the hamlet of Ratlinghope on the west side of the Long Mynd. Three occupants "were escorted out of it". No photo, I'm afraid.

The cars aren't just self-aware now - they're starting to breed.
Egged on by the others, the youngest of the Audis makes the first move.Young and hopeful, it moves in to strike, however youth and inexperience play against the youngling. It attempts it's first mounting maneouvre, relying on it's target not being able to move out of the way, but clearly has no idea how to do the deed.

No driver involved
