It is my understanding, based on information provided to me, that there were 3 cars involved and neither the Golf nor the Morgan ThreeWheeler were the cause of the accident. It seems that most of the coverage has focused on two cars and most of the photos show only the Golf and the M3W (the other vehicle having been cleared). I do have photos of all three vehicles and there is substantial damage to all.
The gist seems to be that a third car came around the bend at speed, hit the Golf and then the Morgan ThreeWheeler. The driver of the Golf has a broken pelvis and the occupants of the M3W, whilst shaken, escaped without injuries.
I wish the driver of the Golf a speedy recovery and hope the owners of the M3W can get back behind the wheel of a Morgan soon.
Given all the discussion we had about weight gain in the 3 wheeler, this might be the only argument we need to say at least some of it was justified.

+1, Does this mean it hasn't put them off 3 wheeler ownership?
Pleased to hear that the owners of the M3W were not badly hurt, as John says that extra weight looks as though it came in handy. I hope that they want to remount so to speak and that MMC are able to fit them back into the production schedule with an early slot.

It does look as if it might just be one front corner from the photos -- an advantage of the new front suspension in that it isn't a complete front end!!!
I hope everyone recovers quickly - My daughter broke her pelvis when she hit a deer in the Ashdown Forrest near Crowborough last year and she is fully recovered and back on her club's first hockey team so I hope this person is as lucky!!
As has been said, I wish all those involved a speedy recovery.
To my untrained eye, it looks like the M3W faired very well and the Golf took the brunt of the force; especially when you consider the condition of the other vehicles involved.
