Polish TV crew film their own rollover.

A Polish TV crew that was returning back to Warsaw got the story (and the fright…) of their life when their Volvo V40 was involved in a roll over accident near the town of Dziecinów. According to one of the guys involved in the accident, in an attempt to avoid a collision with a green Seat Ibiza that blocked their way, the driver of the Volvo lost control of the car and rolled over into a ditch.


Impressive how the car withstood the rollover considering it was at 100 Km/h (62 Mph).

This is what was left of the car:

That's a good assumption.

The rollover probably wouldn't have happened if the car had ESP.
