Teen driver branded a 'moron' after taking selfie next to crashed £50,000 Mustang after flipping car on its roof | The Sun
A TEENAGE driver has been branded a "moron" after snapping a selfie by his wrecked Mustang after flipping it.
The motorist was driving down a busy mountain highway in New South Wales, Australia, when he pranged the £50,000 car around a hairpin bend.
Emergency services dashed to the scene on Kings Highway on Clyde Mountain shortly after the smash on Monday morning.
But, apparently unshaken, the driver then posed for a selfie as firefighters inspected the damage – sparking outrage from locals living nearby.
The photo shows the teen with his thumbs up while standing in front of the wreckage, with emergency vehicles visible in the background.
He captioned the distasteful picture "upside down, that's where".

Another said: "Wow… You just can't help stupid."
A third added: "What a moron! If I was there with the emergency services I would slap that phone out of his hand."
