Fun Game: How did this Happen?

Accident I saw after the fact today, no injuries. Younger guy with small child, all airbags deployed.

The only facts I have:
  • I heard a boom, squealing tires, and then a big boom
  • You can see the tire skid arc leading to the accident
  • I heard someone scream before the accident
My guess: somehow this car launched away from the curb, a passerby screamed, the car spun out and hit the lamp post.

Your turn.

What you don't see is that the car is actually a mustang.

Silver Honda read in an insurance flyer that you should pull through parking so that he doesn't have to back out. Much safer.
