Well the built in rollover bar did its job ! Glad I wasn't in the passenger seat though as I don't fancy being speared on the end of the impact bar of a lorry. Can't work out what the Dutch guy is saying about the speed. Something about 100 KPH but was that the accident speed or was he talking about some multiple of 100 KPH being the top speed of the car ?

Translation ,

You've just taken some gas with a brandnew Corvette Z06 and 200 meters further be landing on your roof .
That happened with a driver on his way to a fotoshoot in Berlin , not a fotoshoot of himself but of the Corvette .
Its a Corvette Z06 with a 7 liter engine that goes from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour ( 60 ) in 3.9 seconds .The car costs about 120 000 euro .
Its a miracle nobody has been hurt , the police is investigating the accident .

Just near the end though, is that a Dutch copper marking out a hopscotch game?

Makes me feel a bit better about putting the manual Camaro into a hedge last month, at least the 4 wheels stayed right side up!
