How do you manage to do this on such a small residential street?


P.S: the car was a Toyota Corolla!!

wow, that's pretty serious..

where did this occur at??

was there another vehicle involved???

must have been driving pretty carelessly to flip your car on a one way street.. i can't imagine only going 60km/hr and flipping a car in a situation like that..

was anybody injured?

The accident occured on Rupert St. Where the skytrain crosses the road. This happened on the way to Ditchmond around 9:15am. The paramedics weren't even there when we took this picture. Guess it happened just b4 we got there then. Maybe at 9am ish I suppose.
Darwin said there was another car involved. It was parked by the street though....so it doesn't exactly look like a head on collision. It seem's like the Corolla mostly did all that himself. As for injuries...don't know either. We couldn't stop to see...don't think there were any dead bodies or anything. No one in the driver's seat...I flipped my old Integra a few years ago. Tried to avoid a cat on Hwy.10 just past 156st area. I rolled down an enbankment and my 'Jordan' landed on its head. We rolled like 3 times down the hill. No big deal really. Scary, but as long as you hold on to the steering wheel as your rolling, it's ok. Almost like a roller coaster ride. But it's weird when you're sitting in the seat, and everything's upside down though. You definitely get disoriented!

I still wonder how that corolla ended up upside down though. It's not like he hit a pole. And how fast must he have been going to his car to end up upside down anyway?

I'm hoping to catch this accident on the news at 11pm tonight. Hopefully it'll be on t.v!!
I find accidents exciting..sorry...I know, I'm warped

it's hard to believe that someone flipped their car on such a small street with that many traffic.
