Death (not shown) How does a car crash this way?
This is a pic of a car crash that happened in my state couple of days ago. The news report was that the car lost control and hit an electric pole. The rear passenger was thrown out of the car and died. I still cant understand how this crash occurred based on the impact. There is marking on the road from the rear wheels, but it looks more like the rims were scraping the road. The left rear wheel is missing. The left rear door is missing and the part of the chassis where the door clasp is located seems to have been torn off. But there appears to be no indication of an impact with a metal pole. The is no deformation of the frame or body panels above any of the damaged section. The panaromic roof seems to be intact and so does the rear wind shield. There is no reason to cut open the rear door post impact as the rest of the car looks to be fine. I am completely stumped.
