Because the wheels turn left, whether by accident or design, right around when the car goes up on two wheels. Bad idea. If the driver had kept the wheel straight they could have done this instead.

OP is that your dash cam?

I love how there are kids stuck in the cross walk, at least appears that way because no one will stop and let the kid through.

Front wheel on the Civic ran into and then up the rear wheel of the car it hit. Basically a small ramp that lead to the Civic's wheel then riding up the side of the other car.

Heck no, no gauges and he doesn't stop to help someone FLIPPED OVER.

He's like oh another Civic flipped over, I'll just go around him, those cracked ribs and subdural hematomas will just buff out.

Oh and lol Saudis:

I genuinely believe that the culture there really values life less than in the west. The ways in which they act brings even the stupidest American teens to shame, just do not care if they die.

It appears to me that the Civic drove up the wheel of the other car and then he turned the wheel the wrong way, as well.

What diff would provide 0% power to the wheel with no grip?

was wondering about that. From the description it sounded like these were stuntsmen? Then they could have rigged a car to do that is my guess.

If this was a video game I'd say the physics engine is wonky.

How is the slow moving Civic flipping over like that? Weird.

That. Wheel-wheel contact is insta-death for everyone in the cars and any babies within 500 yards.

I like how everyone just ignores the dumb ass and continues on their way like nothing happened.

It's cause of the wheels. I'm betting it's front-wheel drive, and the front left wheel is basically causing the car to basically drive up the side of the white one.

It's definitely front drive, he's not turning, and both wheels are in contact with...something. So they're both working to drive up the side of the other car, as others have mentioned.

The reason it seems so unusual/unlikely, I think, is because even the worst of drivers would probably have enough sense to STOP PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL after a collision. That guy was still holding steady, if not increasing, throttle.

Based on how that all happened, I'm wondering if he had a heart attack or passed out form the diabeetus or something.
