?? Where is the rest of the car? There just seems to be so many people non-shalanty looking around, seems like a "display" of some sort.
Like one of those drunk driving messages.

A freind of mine forwarded the pics from a German press site, or at least that is what he says. I will ask him to tell me more.
It IS a fairly fresh crash, as witnessed by the freshly scraped tree bark.
Apparently the accident happened at night, and this was the scene a few days later. By then the rest of the parts that are not wrapped around the tree had been removed.
That is all I know for now.
Boy, you guys are a tough crowd. I just thought it was a neat set of pics..

jesus christ...
thats really wrapped around the tree
trees are incredibly strong, wood is like natural steel, the compression and expansion properties are nearly identical in bearing loads, ratio wise
at least thats what i heard

First comment: I wouldn't say Newton strikes but rather Darwin strikes again (as in, natural selection; those unsuited to procreate will destroy themselves before adapting to their environment.)
It is a cool pic, but probably fake.
What's wrong with this picture?
Little damage to the tree. No debris from tree or wreckage seen in vicinity.
Accident didn't recently happen (i.e., not smoking, etc.) Seems like rescue workers would have disengaged car from tree while on scene.
No sign of fire or high heat to tree or car.
Maybe this is a lens problem or something, but in second photo looks like a guy wire is stringing left door to to right rear bumper.
Unlikely that the kinetic forces would allow the car to "wrap" in this way. Certainly it's a long shot, and may well be a physical impossibility.
Just my opinion; I think it's art designed to deter reckless (or wreckless) driving.

with the amount of force that the car looks to have to appear this wrecked, the tree would most definitely (in the least) bent over a little. It is in no way a big tree trunk, and it seems highly unlikely that this could have happened.
