Damage looks wiered doesn´t it?
Just wonder what happened? Looks like it ran under something or anything fall of the Pat because the bumper seems to be ok.

Looks like a high speed roll over where the vehicle scraped to a stop on the highway.

Hm but roof rails and antenna seems to be fine. I guess they would be damaged too in a roll over or?

I'd guess low speed rollover, but I don't know how they pulled it off. It does look like they scraped to a stop with the hood and forward roof edge on the pavement, but I'd think a high speed flip would have done far more damage, if not involved multiple rolls. That looks like it just rolled onto its side, then the roof, and slid for a few feet (not many though).

The only major damage appears to be the roof. The rest of it would be pretty easy for any body shop to fix. The roof might not even be that bad, but I don't know if there are major structural members right where it is crimped.

that'll buff out with a little elbow grease.

Looks like it rolled to the right, and then onto the roof and hood. The weight of the engine and loss in momentum from the driver hitting the brakes caused the rear end to stay lifted in the air, the hood and front of the roof line skidding to a halt.

How cheap is it?

Rends, buy it and send me the side marker lights...they look intact. I was going to suggest the heated mirrors too but one didn't fair as well...better luck next time I guess.

Clearly it was attacked by velociraptors. You can see the claw marks on the hood. The roof must have been jumped on by a larger one trying to get at the driver through the front windshield. The damage to the sides was done as the driver ran into an embankment attempting to shake them off.

I would say they ran into an elephant that crossed the road in front. That's what would happen to me anyways. Looks like it was rolled at low speed. That's really difficult damage to fix. Probably have to cut and weld a new roof to go with the right rear quarter panel, new door skins, new hood & I'm sure there is damage under the hood. Probably a nasty stain on the driver's seat as well.

Haha the sad part about that reason is that it accounts for all the damage on the car. All the other reaons dont. Start a poll, and ill vote for the raptor option.

Watson...Come here! Looks very much like they were negotiating the back trail looking for the hound of the baskervilles, missed the turn and slid down the slope into the moors. The driver tried to turn back up the hill but the car rolled over and turned turtle, and slid to the bottom of the hill. Bit of bad luck, lucky nobody was injured.

I can't think of any scenario that would warrant the damages on that jeep? the only damage to the front bumper is on the driver side, that has no other damage on it, it was obviously on the passenger side... and what the heck is up with the roof? It kind of looks like it dropped off a cliff (or a car carrier) "Head first" and then fell to its side....

One thing is for sure: the Pat is a fine looking car even when damaged.

I'm with the rolled to the right, then onto the roof theory. Maybe the driver was off-roading taking too many risks.

Hmmmmnnn, I guess if you roll over onto your top, the weight of the engine up front pulls the nose down to the ground.

I'll add this to my database of facts in trying to locate exactly where the center of gravity is.

I wonder if it has a diesel engine?

Yes it´s a CRD.

EDIT: Now i know what happened:

It was in fact an offroad low speed rollover


And there should be no other damages than the ones you can see in the images.
