All we know so far other than it being a big off, was that the driver lost control on a roundabout, hit the kerb, takeoff, landed on hedge with one snapped telegraph pole... no casualties thankfully

But don't blame it on the tires, you should be blaming yourself.

Uh.....how could you have been doing only 5 to 10 mph and lose control? Tires slip? Not if you have VDC, that kicks in immediately and your car basically dies. If you did lose control only doing 5 to 10 mph, then please, do us all a favor and stay off the roads.
