Did they photoshop the firemen in as well?
Looks authentic to me, and really strange things can happen in accidents.
You can't ever say there's no way that would happen, nothings impossible even if it's improbable.

Thats a pretty amazing photoshop if it is. I cant see any immediate faults anyway.

Could it be that there was more than one car involved, maybe another car managed to break through a weak section of barrier then the black Civic hit the barrier head on.

Its viewed from the back inside the car, also the fire crew may have butchered it to get the driver out.

That would require the car to hit a very sharp pointed barrier at very high speeds. There are NO barriers designed in this way. No.3 RS2 barriers must have curved or sloped ends to prevent this. Its a worldwide conformity.

Thats boarding on photoshop status for me. If that were to be rear, the driver wud have been speared through his chest, and almost certainly died.

The car is a left hooker, accident maybe not in UK.

I don't see how a barrier can go through a car and come out the other side?

Depends how fast he hit the barrier and if he hit it on the end.
Say he was in theory doing 140+mph (unlikley but that car will do it and he is a Yank I guess.)
It's easy to imagine the force applied at high speed to a sharp pointy thing.

A bloke I know reversed a Transit pick-up into a wall with a scaffold pole sticking out of the back, it came though the back of the cab and into the engine bay and out of the bonnet. That was at no more than 15mph tops.

It is possible if s/he had enough speed and the barrier was already broken.

looks like it is real and has traveled quite a distance, look at pic 1 and you can see the support for the barrier on the right, then on the 2nd pic you can see 3 of these supports behind the car on the ground, in a country using wooden supports then it's quite possible that the ends are not done in the correct way

If you look at pic 4 you can see it's a RHD car, that big white thing (up,right from center) is the drivers air bag

Strange this is tho is the barrier is facing the wrong way
