Obviously not going to speculate as to the specific cause , sadly driver did not survive the crash. I expect the investigation will clarify the reason.


One odd thing that struck me beyond the accident was the claim that 60% of these cars in the UK are declared off road. Is this in any way realistic?.

That is extremely sad.

Not withstanding the fact that UK roads have indeed been allowed to decline into a dreadful and dangerous condition (under different governments and local authorities); from what I can see, the cabin structure looks fairly intact.
So, with seat belts, airbags and other safety features, it may yet be possible that a medical incident caused the collision.
I had the same question. The damage looked survivable. I expect that the cause will be made known.

Very sad situation, poor chap. I appreciate the damage doesn’t look bad enough to be fatal, but we don’t know all the facts. If I were to assume, it would be that the gent had a heart attack or something similar.
I have not seen any official statement as to the cause yet.
