Ill-Timed Lane Change Launches Audi A3 Into Terrifying Rollover Crash

An impatient lane change had surprisingly dramatic and destructive consequences for this A3 driver in Israel

Let’s not be too hard on the A3 driver in this video. Yes, this is a particularly douchey lane change, but it seems he hit the Peugeot up ahead at just the right angle to turn what might have been a fairly innocuous fender bender into a freak rollover crash.

In the dramatic footage - shot in Haifa, Israel - the Audi is seen flipping into oncoming - thankfully stationary - traffic, taking out a lamp post and landing on the bonnet of an SUV. Just to add an extra touch of drama, the A3 catches fire as it lands.

All of this was witnessed by what seems to be a Russian (with a dash cam, obviously) learning to speaking English. That’s enough Internet for today…

IMHO it was rather ridiculous lane change attempt, but to add to the above. Lately with Cab forward and Aft designs means wheels are on the extreeme corners if not outside towards the rear bumpers and a small bump (this was a rather big one) would cause the wheels of two vehicles exposed to come into contact with each other. The friction coefficient is much higher then other glossy parts, which causes it to grip and fling the rear vehicle forward like WWE wrestler. There are many other such accidents on camera

Why does this remind me of an ‘pinball mode’ from carmageddon?
