Rolling a car on the motorway
Discussion
How on earth does this happen? On the M5 this morning I got stuck in a jam for about half an hour because a car was on its roof up ahead. No other vehicles involved and all the damage to the road seemed to be in the middle lane, so how on earth did it end up on its roof? I'm not slagging off the driver but I'm genuinely interested in how this could happen?

Somebody had a far worse morning than you didYou are traveling at 32 m second in a ton plus weight. That's a lot of energy,and when it goes off track it won't end well.
Just hope the occupants are ok, it's not a nice way to crash

I put it as a combination of the following:
Poor quality or defective tyres.
Mechanical fault or poorly maintained vehicle
Road surface contamination
Poor awareness of road condition and other users.
Rubbish car.
I can confirm that the road was pretty grimy and the car was a peugeot 206 so two of those are definitely right and the rest are highly likely.Poor quality or defective tyres.
Mechanical fault or poorly maintained vehicle
Road surface contamination
Poor awareness of road condition and other users.
Rubbish car.
