http://www.heute.at/story/41069678#showid=4003418&index=3Link to a report on an M3W accident in Lower Austria some days ago. The newspaper reports the driver was thrown out of the car and left the place unhurt.

That back tyre looks as bald as a Coot - not good.
The oil spill won't have helped the bald tyres grip.
Glad he walked away.

Rear tyre isn't the issue.

Not a view one sees very often, thankfully.

It appears that the second picture is that of the car returned to right-side-up. If so, it's remarkable that it seemingly sustained so little damage. Other than the mirrors, it looks almost un-touched. Perhaps the freshly plowed field helped...
Very happy to hear that the driver was OK.

So that's what the underside of a M3Wer looks like!
Joking aside - very pleased the driver got away unhurt

The driver looks to have had a very lucky escape.

Makes me wonder about the seatbelts in this one. Do you not wear one in hopes to get tossed clear of things, or keep it on polish your face on the pavement.

the left side chock are all twisted, check on the upside down picture you can see the down triangle is bent , on the second picture the left wheel she not aligned with the body and opposite side  the chassis will need a serious checking, it's easy to twist it after such accident even small, i have enough accident in moto when i am racing for know how many frame be throw out after a small sliding & and going out unhurt.
