I think this means he wasn't badly injured and was able to get out of the car without help....
Looking at the photo and video it's hard to believe he survived

insurance here works differently, it's not determined by car make & model, just the catalog price and area where you live determine the insurance fees (and the # of years you have been driving witthout accident) The driver lost his license also, he came out of a gas station, stood on it, hit a concrete divider somewhere, got airborne and slid into the trailer on the roof.

Man...upside down and under a truck!!!
What a way to ruin your day.. with a brand new car.
At least he walked away. And assuming he lost his license on this, he will keep on walking.
