I had to laugh:

North Jutland Police are tonight is busy solving a robbery, so they have not been able to help us with more details.

The entire county's police out solving a robbery?

Looks like a British insurance company beat everyone to the scoop on this, judging by the date:

What do you want to bet it was cellphone intoxication?

While human commentators debate what will power cars into the future, a bizarre Danish accident suggests the vehicles might be prepared to settle it among themselves.​

What I find bizarre are "conclusions" such as one quoted above. What if Balqon Nautilus was involved instead of Roadster?

It looks like both the Prius and the Touareg tried to get at the Roadster's battery pack, but couldn't.

There was a posting in the comments on one of the sites saying it was exactly that.

The driver of the Toyota oversaw the setting cars, probably because he spoke in the mobile phone.

If you look at the original sizes, you can get a closer look at the damage.
