When he came round a bend minutes later, he found the car in a cloud of dust and on its roof, the wheels still spinning. The girls had been thrown from the vehicle, and the locals were already helping themselves freely to whatever they could lay their hands on....
I highly doubt that's what happened in either case. Apocraphyl stories are always entertaining, especially the 50th time they're told and "enhanced".
