This is one kind of winter surprise that we have, due to poor road cleaning on a wet and snowy day this wet slush stays on the road, then next day when it gets -10C or so below there will be ice tracks on the road, 1 to 3 cm thick depending of situation. It ok to drive if you are careful, but as happened here, our missus is not so experienced driver and she apply brake at the wrong place and that's all it needed, car goes out of control in a second, and if car goes sideways then it's almost impossible to recover from it because these ice rails take your car where ever they want, driver becomes passenger so to speak.
I'm not happy and there was a lot of bad luck, like this tree happen to be in wrong place at the wrong time, but then again, there could have been oncoming traffic, like a bus. Bumper did it's job and took most of the blow, bonnet and small parts are gone, speed was about 50 kph at the beginning of event and i have to say that modern cars are very well built, softly stopping, bending metal as planned.
And just for information, this kind of event is not so...good but what can you say, everybody can't handle car like a pro.
What i got from this video is explanation how she managed to do that on a straight road.
Time stamp is wrong btw, we don't have daylight at that hour.
