Judging by the layout of the road and trees and apparent violcence of impact based on the remainder of vehicle debris, one would expect this not to be an impact resulting from a single tree.
There is too much vehicle damage on all sides to result from deformation pertaining to a mid-vehicle severance.
Likely this was a high speed collision with one tree followed by a series of progressively lower speed ping-pong like impacts as the car disintegrated and rolled.
Initial impact: tree near road missing bark, passenger side of vehicle. Secondary high force impact to front of car.
Drive safely,

An accident just like this one happened in front of my house about a year ago. It was a honda civic- the driver was going 90 in a 35. He hit a tree in front of a steak house- the car was cut clean in half. The driver walked away without a scratch but the passengers- his sister, 4 year old daughter and friend all died. Their bodies were about 100 feet from my front step.
Seriously disturbing.
Edit: Details.
I guess two died, not three.

The little A3 could be traveling way faster than 80km/h. I'm sure as it went into a sideway skid, the wheels slowed down and so did the speedometer reading. The car could still be skidding at 120km/h (80+/-mph??) while the reading only showed 80 at the moment of impact.
I think he's still in jail. No doubt he'll do 15-20. I wanted to snap some photos of it but the cops left the bodies just laying out there for hours, it would have been pretty disgraceful of me so I passed.
The real world is a little different than this virtual pit of human despair. Besides, I'd seen worse. It was interesting to see them clean the scene up, then the next day no one was none the wiser. Sanitized, for your protection.
Life goes on.
I've made some mention of my real world self. Many times people think I'm full of crap with my stories so I digress, even though they're all true.Originally posted by: pyonir
yep. you rarely let the real world instances get into your posts though. Just surprised me is all.
Besides I'm still not convinced you're not all bots. :beer:
Did anyone else notice that the spedometer was locked in at roughly 90 mph? (in the pic with the pioneer headunit)
kinda looks like the car just spun out, waked that tree with the door on it sideways, and then that split the car right into two pieces
however, those cars are practicly made of fiberglass, haha, so it doesnt surprise me if this car really wasnt going that fast, hitting a pebble on the road would disintegrate that car....
