The car doesn't defy the laws of physics on its own... The driver was most certainly trying to make good time, and paid heavily (almost with his life) for it. The probability that he would've shot through the guard rail if he was driving for the conditions. He was most certainly speeding. “Nobody’s fault”?

Also, the driver comments that he was being followed by a fiat punto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Punto If it drives as badly as it looks, we're looking at one of those "nobody's fault" situations. I agree with Kristina, it's downright miraculous the guy survived at all, let alone with "minor bruising." Uh, not to contradict, but the article does say “One of Five on the set.”

He was driving the thing in HEAVY RAIN around a slick curve in the road. What the fuck were they expecting? And why wasn't it being hauled in a proper trailer? I'm just glad the guy is okay. I saw footage of the wreck on TV, and that car plummeted quite a distance into that lake. The guy's lucky he didn't die. You can’t fire the guy.
