An accident occurred early this evening [Oct 11] on North Shore Road in Hamilton Parish, just east of Francis Patton School, resulting in the car landing on its roof.

Police attended and allowed one lane of traffic, and commuters slowed down to stare at the car as they passed.

A tow truck came to pick the car up at approximately 7pm, and unofficial reports indicate that the driver did not sustain any serious injuries. Details are limited at this time, however we will update as able.

Update 11.17pm: The police said the 42-year-old driver was arrested on suspicion of impaired driving. The full police statement is below.

  2. Time Passages says:

    The expensive add on wing on the trunk didn’t provide the stability is was designed for. Obviously the driver wasn’t going fast enough.

  3. eye on you says:

    Glad to hear for once nobody was injured.

  4. g-GURL says:

  6. Mr Happy says:

    How fast you gotta go to do that anyway?

  7. enforcer says:

    looks like more damaged is caused by the Police tow truck driver!

  8. Take Your Time says:

    Time and Time again we see things like this and repeat the message to slow down.

    Today’s weather could have been a factor but whatever it was I hope it will be shared with the public…

    Some will state that the poice need to be out more but that is not right, we know the rules of the road and should follow them – let’s take personal responsibility.

  9. Oh well says:

    Dumb A$$!!!!!!!!!

  10. Rick Rock says:

    “…I was going along at 40k and the car jus flipped….”

    • Marsha says:

      And what does THAT mean? (I’m shaking my head real fast in short jerking movements looking puzzled). Ya lost me on that one.

  11. Triangle Drifter says:

    The expensive wheels & high performance tires sure did the trick inna!

  12. James Goodfellow says:

    These flips are not accidents. They happen so often that the only explanation is that they are intentional.
    Perhaps the idea is for the owners to flip their cars so the expensive chrome and muffler work can be admired in the newspaper and on local news websites. Just check out the rims on this supercharged Impreza WRX. Impressive work..

    • Marsha says:

      I dont’t get it. I know y’all are made of money, but who in their right mind is going to flip a car on purpose?

  13. OMG says:

    Yea yea and check d dun up vheels and d low profile tyres!! Money not wisely spent.

  14. Truth is killin' me... says:

    If you look real closely that Kiskadee sh!t on the driver’s side window obscured his driving vision and in turn forced him into the wall and onto his roof!!!

  15. swing voter says:

    Nice Rims supa

  16. Somerset OG says:

    3 rims with tires for sale. Cheap! WTFork? The rims on the front and back are different. That’s untidy. No wonder he can’t drive.

    • OOHHH LOORRDD!!! says:

      FML!! I thought I was the only one who noticed or that I must be seeing things!!!! wtf is right??!!!!

  17. Future says:

    The driver was quoted in mid air as having said:

    “oh flip”.

  18. Johnboy says:

    I thought I was gonna see de video of de car actually fliiping over. That woulda been cool!!

    False advertising Bernews!!! lol

  19. Triangle Drifter says:

    Nothing wrong with the car. It has nothing but the best performance stuff. Had to be caused by the fool behind the wheel. Human caused. A crash. Certainly not an accident. Check the cellphone records.
