Default RIght...

"When you're living in a former iron curtain nation and sporting a last generation Audi TT, you're probably even more likely to suffer from German car driver syndrome. We're betting this driver suffered from a serious case and overdrove his abilities. Or it could be the fault of the VW driver, who knows. We can't really tell what happened here, but we can sit in wonder at the spectacular carnage unleashed upon these automobiles."

Yeah, so the TT was obviously rear-ended...Unless he is skilled enough to drive backwards at 80 mph directly into the front end of the golf, I highly doubt that it was the TT's fault.

Default How bout if it spun after hitting the curb (the skid marks in the shot) and smacked

rear end first in to the Golf? I can certainly see circumstances where either could have been at fault...

Default could be a road racing incident.... both cars appear to have crossed the center median judging

by the two sets of tire marks hitting the curb. Given the amount of damage, both cars had to be traveling at a fairly high rate of speed. Hard to tell from those pics which car caused the accident, but both were probably at fault.

Looking at the placement of the cars, and the skid marks.. that's my guess.
