although you obvs can see the other side or damage, it doesnt look like a crash that would do any damage to anyone in that car, although saying that the passenger side could be wiped out.

Looks alright though, just a little slip into a ditch. maybe :/

On the Stoke Road into Martock, just in the bends after the A303 flyover prior to Martock.

Hmmm, would be interesting to know who that was mind you. It's an old GTI isn't it (based on the wheels).

Tbh, this crash would have been worse if it was slammed. Dont think it would have gracefully gone through the kurb, but instead rolled it over into the ditch.

Did stop, but only briefly.  I was off to Bristol, to go and collect a Porter Cable and bits, and was a bit late...................

I seem to remember it was an L plate though.

Although it must of been doing some to take the kurb out like that, shouldnt be too much damaged, a few damaged panels maybe, sore necks?

the kurb looks pretty knackered, so im guessing his suspension is all bent, and alloy probably fooked.
