Man that guard rail did it's job, it probably saved his life. What caused the accident?

It appears he got in to it on that curve. Glad he didn't go off that cliff.

Makes you count your blessings. Quite a drop off that road. Is the right front tire in bad shape or is that just a bad picture?

Thankfully there was a guardrail there - looks like it could have been a long drop. Glad the driver is OK.

Looks to me like the car, the guardrail and the tree is what saved him. I hope he's okay.....

At least the person taking the pictures didn`t take one of the driver still in the car. Or at least didn`t post them.

ouch
Hope the driver is ok. It never occured to me that our cars would actualy go under a guard railing like that. Much faster and a little further under the railing and it looks like the driver would have been in serious trouble.
