When driving an SUV, it’s important to consider its higher center of gravity compared to a car. Of course, it’s also important to consider not running into the back of other cars. In the case of this Land Rover driver, it seems they thought about neither as they drove into the back of a Toyota GR Yaris and rolled over.

The incident occurred in Birmingham, England, more specifically at the Robin Hood Island roundabout. It shows the Discovery Sport entering the roundabout fairly normally, even courteously letting a Nissan Juke pass by before they got into the middle lane. The Land Rover’s driver then cut to the inside-most lane, likely to bypass the traffic in the other two. However, the SUV wasn’t fully in the lane before the driver got on the gas, and they ended up getting a lesson in patience.

The Discovery Sport ended up clipping the passenger side of the GR Yaris’s rear bumper, riding up the rear fender, then rolling over onto its roof and nearly taking out the car in front before coming to rest perpendicularly in the lane. The damage it sustained included the windows, roof, hood, and front bumper along with anything mechanical that’s not able to be seen. But what’s probably more surprising, though, is that at least on the surface, it looks like the Toyota took little to no damage despite a two-ton SUV hitting it with enough force to flip over.

Regardless, neither driver is likely happy about the incident or the money and time involved in repairs, especially since it could’ve all been avoided with a little more patience.
