Can one say:
1-The man stuck in the car turned on its side was crying for help.
instead of:
2-The man stuck in the car lying on its side was crying for help.
The context is obviously that of an accident. The car has not been turned on its side, but has turned on its side. That is why I think "1" is problematic.
