I happened to be following the guy who flipped. He had accelerated a bit early on the Kings Way onramp. When he got to the freeway, he probably didn't see the 2 cars parked in the RH merge lane after their crash, and has clipped one, turning his car (Magna) on its roof, then spearing across the road and coming to rest against the barrier. Somehow, he ended up in the back seat, and has come out of the car via the rear passenger door (probably disoriented being upside down - I think I heard him say something like "WTF happened?").

Can't help thinking it could have been me. It could have been any one of us.

Shit ay, pretty good being able to flip your car on a public road and walk away from it, the guy was quite lucky not to be seriously hurt.
