The cut in the middle of the passenger rocker panel also looks like it was done after the fact, but its hard to say that much based on a couple of pictures. I've just never seen a rocker cut through like that, and I've seen floor panels fold, but not slice straight through. The doors were also missing, unless I just didn't notice them somewhere. It is actually quite common to see every object at an accident site tossed into one or more of the cars involved. I'm not completely convinced that the bike wasn't moved quite a bit during extraction of the occupants - maybe removed completely, then shoved back into the shell of the car. The story holds up either way - somebody screwed up royally. Flipping the VW is pretty impressive, and sounds plausible enough. Yikes.

She had pulled out of her driveway and straight across the grass shoulder onto a 70mph highway. Neighbors said she often did this instead of using the frontage road "for convenience". How dumb is that. The guy on the bike flew over the car and broke a lot of stuff, but he's OK.

Parked on the left shoulder of a 3-lane each way freeway, and standing between the car and the concrete barrier, he apparently got hit by a pair of tandem wheels that flew off of a dump truck trailer that was driving by. It threw him over the concrete "jersey" barrier, where he got run over by a H on the other side. Any doubt that it must have been "his time"?
