they're "collisions " or "incidents" these days. "Accident" suggests nobody was at fault, and that would never do I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Although it looks like it is, I think that's the internal steel protection bar showing, i.e. the outer door skin has wrapped itself around it, if you see what I mean....2016 Discovery 4 Commercial

Now I'm no longer posting from service stations had a look at the pics. It was quite badly damaged at the front right, as i passed on it's RHS looked like it had been shunted in the rear, having shunted the car in front, hadn't seen the LHS at that stage. Looking at the pics I wonder if it's hit the centre barrier (driver dozed off pos) then thrown back into the traffic, hit on the rear right & spun round & front right hit the barrier. Must have been one hellova ride. Just a theory but it certainly was a mess and no doubt in my mind a scrapper. Was chatting with a truck driver re it as I sat in my car taking pics, he thought it was a real shame on such a new car. I did wonder if it was heading to Dunc's as he is now a skilled stripper!!
PS Damage to the C pillar kills my theory, poss side swiped by a truck, or drove into the side of one, or pulled into the slow lane (that part of the world & N no 3 lane roads) when someone was undertaking him.

To me, an accident suggests that it wasn't intentional but someone must still of course be to blame ...an incident could be a stabbing or shooting which is intentional with someone to blame 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
Cue debate on what constitutes irony I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

rear diff seize causing prop shaft to wind up pulling the rear to the front. concertining the doors(left side only due to the coriolis effect would have been right side south of the equator)
and as they gunned it the rear o/s wheel was dragged in.
the airbag deployed as the diver slammed his door in disgust this pressurised the interiot bursting the rear window
