Your right I don't know the circumstances of this crash. What I can infer though is that the ground looks wet. There is mud inbedded in the tire tread. it looks to me like the person was driving faster than conditions permitted, drifted onto the soft mud shoulder and ended up rolling it.

Certainly a possible, maybe even likely, scenario, Shodog.
Then again, he could have come around the bend, only to discover a Mercedes in his lane, with the driver looking downwards (at the hot coffee she'd just spilled in her lap, as it turned out in my case), prompting the driver to make a sudden, hard right to avoid the headon, then desperately try to regain control and power out of it, to no avail. Happened to me (but not in the "G").
The dealer plates make us (me included) suspect a situation whereby a little overzealous throttle application by an inexperienced driver, underestimating the "G", met poor weather conditions and Presto! - you're in the weeds !!

FrizzleFry, in response to your question: No

From the link provided by FrizzleFry:
This is what happened when my friend's dad drove drunk in their new '05 G35 w/ 500 miles on it. It used to look like it did in the garage in my sig pic. The Dad had a revoked license for drunk driving. He walked away w/out a scratch. Veered off the road, up an embankment, flipped it, slid across the street upside down and the car got stuck on the wires that hold the telephone poles up. It was hanging over the cliff.
