He could probably salvage the front wheel, brake caliper, rotor & maybe even the wheel bearings! Lucky to walk away from that crash.

I call BS on the cause of the accident. That car is designed to generate downforce. More likely he drove it off the road then got sideways coming back and got air-born.
