I'd just like to know what happened, I'd guess it was stolen for a joyride and that's where it got ditched, then again maybe the guy was like I can't take this f,ing cup holder anymore.

Thats actually an old video it was posted on here already about two years ago but we never really got the story of what happened or how many people were in the car.

Poor soul never had a chance, not even in a car as well built as the XF. Even if he/she stayed buckled in and hit nose-first, the impact would have been like hitting a granite-face mountain at 80+ mph. Not much crumple zone for that. The car looked like it landed flat on its underside and rolled, much worse for the human body, especially the spine and skull. Just hope they died painlessly.

A body was found 150 feet above the wreckage which probably means they weren't buckled in. That had to be one heck of a scary ending!! Not a good way to go at all!

My Daddy said to keep the shiny side up and that's about the only thing that I listened to.
