ok sherlock mode on:
guess one. notice the position of the wipers.. driving in the rain.
guess two. appears to be more of an embankment roll. i'd give it only one roll no more.
guess three. probably clipped the passenger side on something solid with the tire while in a slide and snapped off the passenger front tire. then slid across the road and made a roll.
guess four. IF the driver had on a safety belt, he probably climbed out of that car although mighty sore. NO belt, not good.
guess five..more of an observation. the airbag will only go off if the linear deceleration exceeds a preset level on the order of 5 gs ( i can't remember exactly) but that is linear in the direction of travel ie towards the front. you can whacked with 50 g's from the side and the airbag won't go off because it wouldn't do any good.
the passenger cell looks intact. the A pillar and windshield frame appear to have held the load relatively well. The roll bar on the seat frames do not appear to have made contact at all.
There is relatively little torsional twisting of the body. I tend to believe this was a fairly slow speed event at time of impact, probable under 30 MPH
it would be fascinating to find out what really happened

Do you think the rims are scratched up? I'd like the radio door, too, to find a way to mount a VAFC without messing my door up. There don't seem to be any blood stains or anything, hopefully anyone involved didn't get too hurt.
