A TEENAGE driver has been branded a “moron” after snapping a selfie by his wrecked Mustang after flipping it.
The motorist was driving down a busy mountain highway in New South Wales, Australia, when he pranged the £50,000 car around a hairpin bend.

Emergency services dashed to the scene on Kings Highway on Clyde Mountain shortly after the smash on Monday morning.
But, apparently unshaken, the driver then posed for a selfie as firefighters inspected the damage – sparking outrage from locals living nearby.
The photo shows the teen with his thumbs up while standing in front of the wreckage, with emergency vehicles visible in the background.
He captioned the distasteful picture “upside down, that’s where”.
It has been shared on the local community’s Facebook page – with residents left fuming at the motorist’s “stupidity”.
One user blasted: “Wouldn’t be taking selfies with thumbs up if someone was seriously injured or killed.”
Another said: “Wow… You just can’t help stupid.”
A third added: “What a moron! If I was there with the emergency services I would slap that phone out of his hand.”
And a fourth commented: “That’s what happens when they are handed a licence without a driving test.”
No one was hurt in the smash and the driver was not charged.
The person who shared the selfie on South Coast Facebook page warned other drivers to be careful coming around the bend near Pooh Bear’s Corner.
New Ford Mustang models retail at around £50,000 on average.
