A shocking rollover crash in downtown Vancouver stunned passersby Thursday afternoon.
A brown vehicle somehow ended up on its side with its roof crumpled against a tree at Alexander and Jackson streets in the Downtown Eastside.
A paramedic, a police officer, and a fire truck could be seen at the scene in a photo from the crash site.

Const. Tania Visintin with the Vancouver Police Department said two vehicles collided before one of them ended up on its side. Luckily, no major injuries were reported. Both vehicles were rendered inoperable after the crash, and were towed.
A photo from the scene was shared on Reddit, where it became widely circulated. Many users questioned how the car ended up like that, with others making jokes about the sorry state of driving in the city.
“Physics don’t apply here in Vancouver, let alone other concepts/principles,” one user said.
“Well that went sideways,” said another.
Here’s hoping today’s commute is calmer than this.
