2019 Ecosport struck a pole on the right side and several rocks that bent the left front control arm assembly and bent the frame. It drove the left front wheel into the car frame. The vehicle went airbound and continued through a flower bed constructed of paver stones 18" high. The destruction of the flower bed further destroyed the undercarriage with the drivetrain pushed backwards. The car landed and eventually stopped. The airbags did not deploy and driver suffered a severed spine and later died.
