Well Merry Christmas if no one died there!

Hopefully they are okay. Can anyone tell what kind of BMW? Looks like an E91 or F31 to me in the pictures, hard to tell though.

Yeah you'd think they reconsider the design after the first one, But in reality should have reconsidered the design while it was still on the drawing board. What'd they think was going to happen? Cars were bound to hit it at some point. Maybe it was supposed to be a quick access to the top of tunnel but they didnt get enough speed up

Looks like a X1 or X2 to me, But the Cabin didnt seem to take too much damage, I tried to do a little research before posting it and couldnt find a fatality reported. I'm not sure about the second video though coming toward the camera, looks like it would have landed on the drivers side US, but in Slovakia they are RH drive correct?

It's hilarious that the driver pumped the brake pedal while airborne. Hope they made it out OK. It looks like there was minimal cabin intrusion.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe had they hit the gas they might've made it all the up.

Probably a tire pressure issue

Guys, this happened in my country, the driver was alone and got out without a scratch :-). Too bad the "air brake" didn't work, though :-D

when I got out of training I was handed an inventory.. one of the claims was a person that crossed the center line causing a fatality to a himself and a minor occupant in the not at fault vehicle.

How about put some yellow barrels with water or sand in front of that ramp?
