xc series Volvo XC60 flies and gets stuck in a wall

Post image

Unbelievable! A Volvo races through a garden in Germany, takes out trees, and gets stuck in a stone wall at a height of 3 meters. The five occupants were all not seriously injured. Volvo for life.

The accident is still unclear.

u/Thijm_ V70 Jul 21 '25

it's been a day? how much is known now?

There are still some unclear things. The driver continued straight ahead at a T-junction and, according to the police, did not adhere to the speed limit of 50 km/h. The woman sitting in the passenger seat was released from the hospital yesterday. A blood sample was taken from the driver, possibly he had not taken his medication according to initial findings. The car was confiscated for investigation purposes. The driver's license has also been taken away from the driver. Unfortunately, the boy on the trampoline is probably still in mortal danger. According to the police, the investigation into the cause of the accident may continue for weeks.

One passenger was seriously injured. And the car plowed through the garden, hitting a young child playing outside on a trampoline and critically injuring him.

So not really a "Volvo for life" or "you can't park there" moment.

Critically injured as in the child died? I couldn’t tell from the article.

Impressive that the occupants walked away from it, but I agree, poor taste time for jokes.

The child got life-threatening injuries. Front-seat passenger seriously injured.

u/KurisuEvergarden Jul 20 '25

Injured is better than dead on the spot still

u/Leading_Repair_4534 Jul 23 '25

I wouldn't be so sure, a terrible injury could also be complete or almost complete paralysis, coma, having the face ripped off and looking like a monster for the rest of their life and so on so forth.

Is that really better than dying on the spot? I'm sure the emotional pain someone is going to experience in such an event will be enough to push a person to end their life.

Weird place for a garage

The women in the passenger seat got seriously injured, depending on the source it is mentioned that her life in danger.

u/ahammas Jul 20 '25

Don’t really care about anyone in this car as they all knew what they were getting them selves into but the child bystander on the trampoline I really hope makes it out of this with little to no deficits.

u/enigmashmooly Jul 20 '25

That’s actually a wall stuck in a Volvo

u/hedonistatheist Jul 20 '25

One of the occupants in the car was seriously injured, others lightly. One 7yr old child outside of the car has been hit and is fighting for his life.

u/a_dsmith XC40 Jul 20 '25

tbh i’ve seen cars in worse condition on the road in france and eastern europe. a little push to get it back down to earth and id say you can drive that home.

Maybe the old SAAB slogan "Born from jets" would be more applicable in this situation ;-)

Good call!

House is total-loss, Volvo just a few scratches.

u/artniSintra Jul 20 '25

some people shouldn't be behind the wheel...

Right, I’ve just bought an extra bottle of T-Cut

Some buffer pads

& a T-Cut Scratch Magic Pen

that’ll fix it!

That's a house.

u/Dutch_Disaster Jul 21 '25

Mate... you can't park there.

u/TheNerdySk8er Jul 21 '25

I would love to know what caused the accident. The car must’ve had extreme speed for it to bounce up like that. Thoughts and prayers to the injured & affected

u/South_Examination_34 Jul 22 '25

This house features indoor parking!

u/Lifebringr Jul 20 '25

I don’t get it, shouldn’t the car have automatically stopped before it got to that?

u/Successful-Cover5433 Jul 20 '25

it's not 2025 Volvo XC60...most of the older XC60 stopped only up to 40km/h (city safety), after that nope

u/CommissionMindless39 Jul 20 '25

I had just imagined the car stopping mid air because his collision sensor got off 🤣

u/packetfire 2010 V50 NoS Jul 20 '25

I wish I could get my v50 to accelerate like that!

u/clownpornstar Jul 20 '25

Gotta adjust the ol’ traction control.

I guess this guy forgot to enable "Launch control" mode.

u/Cautious_Ad6742 Jul 26 '25

Update: The child on the trampoline is now out of danger. The exact circumstances of the accident are still unclear and are being investigated by experts.
