052: Airborne Toy Crash

What in the name of Flash Gordon happened here?
If I had taken a much wider shot it would seem obvious that this toy car wreckage is situated in quite an out-of-the-way place; the tall shrub is on steeply sloping ground behind a metal fence, and really not near where I was when I took this photo.
It's wedged in the crutch of two lichen-encrusted branches (possibly hawthorn) and missing it's chassis and interior. I keep imagining that it's a full scale car that was dropped from an aircraft into a gigantic tree.
f/4, 1/1000 sec. ISO 200, SMC P-FA 50mm.
