If the driver of the convertible has come out of that with just minor injuries they are very very lucky.

Two taken to hospital the link states. If they were in the Vauxhall, luck was on their side.

yikes I hope everyone involved is ok! I can't work out from the damage how it could have happened though.

I could only perhaps assume that the skoda barrel rolled onto the vauxhall, which would explain the side damage to the skoda and the relative lack of damage to all but the windscreen of the vauxhall

Thats what I thought, the damage to the 4x4 isnt commensurate with the damage to the old car.

Looks to have hit something round and reasonably solid. Road sign at a guess. Then up and over?

I got quite a surprise clicking right on the first link, looking to see if there were any more pictures of the damage.

Yes, we can see that the Skoda has no roof. Unless it had a sunroof that has shattered.

Could it not be the airbag you can see though the side windows?

Incident location

https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&...
The other picture (in the ledbury reporter link) shows a bit more damage to front of the Vauxhall.

I suspect the Vauxhall was crossing the main road, has T-boned the Yeti which may have braked to a fairly low speed at the time of impact, causing the Yeti to half roll on top of him. Low impact points on the Yeti's doors appear to match up to the front suspension/axle of the Vauxhall. High CoG in faux off roader making roll easier to perform.
Crumpled nicely did'nt it?

Looks more like the Yeti was crossing the road - offside damage to the vauxhall vs nearside damage to the yeti. I read it as the Yeti was turning right or even just crossing over, did it wrong and ended up on the roof of the vauxhall.
