In the pic that one of the members provided showing the skid marks across the lane and onto the grass the road surface changes just before what you can see of the road, this is at the childs/plenty road intersection.. I can only guess that the car has reacted to the change in surface and the bump, being fully loaded... perhaps come of line and had a wheel/s touch the gravel.

He's either panicked and slammed the anchors therefore going into an uncontrollable slide or over corrected, too much gas and virtually slingshotted of the road, although I wouldn't think an NA 6 would have that sorta capability power wise.

or a car pulled out of an intersection without expecting someone approaching at 160kph, or someone in the car was distracting the driver and he over reacted or he blew a tyre or he was weaving through traffic or a million other things....
At those speeds with an extra 400+kg's of weight in the car in a built up area it was doomed for failure...
