I don’t really care how this happened, BUT if those youngsters weren’t securely buckled in, throw the book at the driver!
Hit a parked car. Makes one wonder it there wasn’t some sort of distraction involved, like a cellphone.
I am still trying to figure out how people manage to roll over on Eureka city streets… It’s a special ability I guess.
When you drive a car that’s designed to look like a rolly-polly pillbug; I guess you gotta expect to roll over at a moment’s notice.
The bottom of the car (the four wheels) is no more round and rolly-poley than any other car’s. I imagine excessive speed is the reason for the rollover. Bounced right into the air and landed on its back.
If you can’t keep it right side up , ride the bus
The wages of buying a little or big SUV and driving fast… The upside-down SUV is getting more and more common.
Gotta love all the assuming going on here…. Y’all act like everyone in an accident is a pos… Learn some damn impathy….
I wouldn’t assume anything but that the car was going too fast, as i posted above. There’s no way you would bounce off and end up on your roof unless you were going pretty darned fast. Maybe i’m wrong… show me a crash test dummy run where 25 or 30 mph lands you that way.
I totally agree. We don’t know that people and we don’t know what happened. We weren’t there. People always want to see the worst in people these days.
