He was lucky he didn't have his family onboard. He'd have been the only survivor, probably wishing he'd perished also.

Aren't Audi's aluminum? That would be pretty much how I'd expect it to behave (ie tear). A steel bodied car would have probably wrapped itself around the tree. Not saying that's better, he'd probably have been crushed!
