This is whats called The Highway Flip. The maneuver is difficult to perform all the way to 360, however, once completed it's pretty impressive to see. These folks have managed just the halfway flip - its OK, but no cigar. Contestants can always be assured that the local highway cops will always be on hand to offer assistance.

The trailer wheels are too far forward, and the car is too long for that type of trailer, which means there was a lot of car weight over hang after the trailer wheels, which, at highway speeds, caused a back and forth motion which became uncontrollable... I would have never chanced a car like that on that trailer.

Looks almost like negative tongue weight.

Judging by the yellow/orange vehicle in the background, and the wonky trailer, it must have happened in Europe.

What a shame. Its a write off but a donor car roof etc. could rebuild it IMO.
