Wrong! Drivers door is not usable. Singapore is RHD.
From the comments with the pictures it appears the driver could not handle a very smooth slight bend after a long straight and spun or drove into the median lost control upon hitting the inside curb with the car flipping over the outside guard rail. Missing the tree most likely made for minor instead of fatal injuries.

accident at Yishun
Hi guys,/ gals
I am new to the forum and own a Winning Blue RX-8 , When I saw the damage, at first it dawns on me that , how could an RX 8 crashed, Bad driving or bad car??
after reading furhter and giving myself back to some thoughts that i had recalled, i had remembered the RX 8 was overly made safe into the European market due to rear doors making the vast space therein.
Hence the doors hide tubular steel grids that protect the folks inside.
Hence it was not only the airbags but the rx 8 design itself that save those blokes.
Rx 8 is a great and safe car and this reflects better than any crash dummy test as this was the real deal done.
Tks to RX 8, and rotary rocks.

Oh my god that looks horrible. It's almost a miracle they all walked away from it, it looks like it wouldnt even hold 4 people in there anymore. It's either really lucky or the RX-8 is AMAZING.
