...What happened there? That's a strange angle for a car to lodge itself.

They were chasing a Dodge Monaco with 2 men dressed in suits, hats and sunglasses inside.

Don't forget the megaphone on the roof.

I know the hair colour is most likely to be incorrect, but is that Danny on the right?

Looks closer to @Ken Koios to me.

It seems like the Volvo truck was about to enter the motorway, when the Volvo car (must have been driving on the motorway already I guess) went off the road, got out on the grass and jumped up onto the truck. And then the Volvo ambulance took the driver to hospital. Don't worry though, he only suffered minor injuries.

Anyways, shouldn't your question be more like: How many non-Volvos can you spot in this photo?

Here's a challenge: What is the van in the top left corner?

Spoiler: Actually, I think I know what it is...

What could be more redolent of a cosy middle-class upbringing than warm, fuzzy memories of Winnie the Pooh (pre-Disney, yuck)?

Such is the yearning to find new exhibition themes that appeal to museum-goers that the Hunterean is to show the skull of real-life Winnipeg the Bear, a favourite exhibit of the real-life Christopher Robin, notably with missing teeth from real-life honey and sticky buns.

No, really.

And I thought this guy had an unfortunate name.

I see your Wank and I raise you a Fanny Chmelar.

Government has a long history of trying to suppress various religions. It doesn't usually go well.

It's not exactly "suppression" when we're talking about a criminal organization.

Doo Doo the clown saves the day!!

My favourite part:
“[They’re] looking at a black hummer, and a clown screaming “Get in! Get in!”
The women dove into Farberman’s car, squeezing in with the two other clowns in the backseat...
