If a car rolls the normal rout of exit is the windscreen or the rear screen. The doors don't open too well on any car if it's on it's roof. They must have been pretty beat up after a crash like that too because to roll a car like that must take a fair ammount of effort.
Also, Lambo are owned and probably part designed by Audi. Some of the safest cars in the world are designed by Audi.

The doors are partially open, certainly enough to get out. Either that was done after the event, or they were still alive and trying. Thats not nice, which is why I've split posts from a number of people who want to make fun of it.

It's horrific, certainly not something to make fun of.

 but theres been worse really. Few things dont add up
I doubt there was any ice. As pointed out it looked a fine summers days, very unlikely there was any ice on the road.
As for the doors, you can see in the pictures that one of the doors is clearly smashed open from the impact damage, more than enough room for someone to get out of. An escape route doesnt really seem a problem to be honest in that accident. More a question of if they were even alive after the impact.
Lastly, speed. It traveled a long way from the road and has heavy damage, even ripped a wheel off. It must have been moving at a fairly serious pace to cause that damage. I wouldnt be suprised if speed was the cause of this accident. You can see in the last picture the road is fairly bumpy where the road seems to have left the road. Wonder if they were going too fast, hit the bumps and lost the backend?

The ice is foam to put the fire out.
Of course speed is the issue. Look at the distance the car travelled off the road.
Still horrific though.

To roll a car which is that aerodynamically stable and that has a centre of gravity as low as that you must have to be going bloody quick!

That's bloody appaling. They were human beings and just look like charred sausage now. I feel realy quite sick. 
I can't get over the chassis construction on that thing too. It's just a load of box section rubbish. Looks like an old kit car.

I thought that too. I thought that it would at least be some form of monocoque.
