Hopefully no-one from Pistonheads

On Skye this afternoon.

At least it didn't hit anything, and it looks like the driver got out ok, hope nobody was injured.

That time of year when roads are greasy and rwd supercars are sometimes tucked away for winter!

Passenger door looks worrying

[Alpacaman]

I wasn't sure if that was one of the wheels in front. It was taken from a local facebook page, but hopefully no injuries, it's a nice section of road but it has been wet at times today and still lots of tourists and motorhomes to overtake.

As does the wheel and the rest of the front corner 6ft from where it should be.

The passenger compartment looks intact, few airbags look to have gone off. I would hope the occupant(s) got out unscathed.

Probably a run out of talent situation.

He’ll get a ticket parking there.

Seems mysterious that the passenger window is still in place but the door is open. Also the positions of the doors very different between the photos and no sign of how the car actually got there.

I suspect the door is not open. When I crashed my 650, the outer skin of the door became separated at the bottom. It looked ok but I could pull the bottom of the door and the outer panel would lift away / up because it was still secure at the top.

This looks similar to me. The door looks 'open' because the outer skin isn't secure at the bottom of the door anymore, and the window is closed because the door is actually closed. (It also explains why the 'open' passenger door looks like it's the completely wrong angle)

^^^ Aha, that makes perfect sense. The door latch should have kept the structure intact through the event.
