A Skoda landed bonnet down on the roof of a church in eastern Germany at the weekend. It appears that the vehicle was “travelling at high speed” when the driver missed a bend in the road, driving through a railing and then careered up an embankment and flew through the air for around 35 metres. The 23 year old driver had to be freed by emergency crews and was admitted to hospital for treatment.

The insurance claims form should make interesting reading. The answer to the question “What was the position of the vehicle immediately after the collision” is surely a first?

It goes to show these Skoda’s are really taking off!
