Damaged Golf Rallye G60
Gouge and Crush Damage to The Wheel
This picture shows the gouge marks made as the trapped wheel acted like a sled. You will see that most of the gouging runs top to bottom in this picture, but you will also see that the centre spoke has gouging running left to right, this was caused as the car rebounded from the electricity pole, causing a change of direction. The fracture of the rim on this side happened at or slightly before impact with the pole, this is confirmed by the presence of gouging in one direction only.
