After watching the video of this accident that occurred in Russian a number of times, we can say for sure that it wasn’t caused by some manic, drunk driver or a speeding young lad racing against his peers, but by something far more devious.
At first, we thought that it was definitely a pothole big enough to trap one of the car’s tires, but we’re not so sure any more, as for one, the visible pothole is on the left hand side of the asphalt, while the Toyota Corolla seems to fall on its front right tire.
A couple of explanations that come to mind is that there could be another pot- or sink-hole on the right side of the driver’s lane hidden under water, or that the wheel somehow snapped off the axle.
