Photos from the scene show a blue vehicle overturned on the roadside, with extensive structural damage indicating the severity of the crash. The car appears to have rolled onto its roof, with its undercarriage exposed. The front section of the vehicle is severely crushed, suggesting a high-impact collision or loss of control before the vehicle flipped.

Both driver-side doors were forced open, and debris from the vehicle—including broken components and loose interior parts—was scattered along the edge of the road.

    Oh yea, it’s definitely the roads fault. Lift ya foot off the gas pedal or take responsibility for your driving. No duppy haunting the roads people. Just living people with heavy feet. Also, if you’re unfamiliar with a stretch of road it’s best to go a bit slower on it.
