The two car crash victims in the music video

The video centres around a car crash occuring in a park. It features two views of this: one the real-world view in which the occupants of the car are lying dead on the pavement, and the other in which the camera shows them from above. In the second view they mimic actions that people would usually do standing up, while being on the ground in a perpendicular position.

Adele is not one of the car crash victims; instead she is an onlooker.
