500 ft impressive, glad no one was hurt.
My estimate was 150-175′ along the line of travel, mostly airborne, about 125′ down max from the nearest point to the highway. Lucky lucky

It usually works best to keep the rubber side down….
What a relief.. I saw the responders going down and expected tragedy..
Thank goodness for all the airbags in that Subaru. Amazed the driver walked away.
They were very lucky to have not been hurt. I love a happy ending to any tragic story.
