Safety space seems well maintained for what was probably a huge incident.

although the biological hazard warning stickers on it would suggest there was quite a lot of blood in there.

Or the driver actually sh*t themselves, which is also likely

I was thinking more it was the fluids and stuff from the car leaking out but that is a possibility

Decent ad for a roll bar but then the A pillars have provided no protection. This suggests we we should all have full cages, but then maybe the g forces in this one would have done the damage regardless of how strong the safety cell was?

I reckon it went under a truck. A lot of the damage is pretty flat. Given this is a US car, I'd guess the biohazard stickers relate to blood.

Good shout. Not recommended. Hope the driver ducked across to the passenger side.

Fluids etc would just be HAZCHEM, Biohazard is just biological waste (either from humans/animals and I think also rotting plant matter as well?)

Once did 75,000kms in a year in deepest Country Vic in BARMY with added cruise control so I could drive with my right foot hovering over the brake pedal and the passenger seat always empty so I could dive over there just in case an unavoidable 'roo appeared.

I hope this driver had a similar plan.

Sounds a bit drastic dave, I'd be worried diving across you would end up steering off the road and hitting something worse the a roo.

Certainly if you do a lot of country driving at night there is a lot to be said for a steel bullbar and good spotlights.
