Watch the video, about 1 minute in, you'll see people lift the car up and pull the motorcyclist out.
It's a testimony to BMW's lightweight engineering lol

I saw this morning on the news. This is a testament how well people pull together in the face of danger no matter their differences. Good stuff, I hope that guy makes it.

rolling over the E60 ought to not be very difficult, try rolling over a one ton lifted diesel truck, I unfortunately know from experience ...crazy video though, really suprised they are letting it be seen, alot of times they will pull back videos like this. Hopefully everything turns out ok for the rider
