I caught this after dropping the kids off. This was on 75 north between Nevada & 7 mile.

Another reason why I think Introductory Physics should be a required class in high school. Heh. Anyone with even a basic knowledge of vehicular dynamics would know the results of this accident are nearly impossible, so they wouldn't even have attempted it. HTF did they end up on their roof four lanes away from the flip barrier?! Hope everyone is OK... |

I passed the scene and came back around to take a few photos. It appeared as though they TRIED to avoid an accident and swirved to miss the cars ahead of them and went up the embankment, flipped over and voila. There were like 5 cars ahead of the scene on the side. A few fire trucks, rescue trucks, state boys, and for some odd reason US Marshalls came before I left. |

that must've been the cause of the resisdual slow down I encountered this morning. Gannon, it wouldn't be all that impossible if the car was in the serious state of mechanical disrepair/neglect that is all to common to vehicles in the city |

LOL, OK, then we mandate Introductory Auto Maintenance in high school as well... |

...we'll have to tell them that gravity machines haven't been invented yet. You OK with that?! Anti-ones, either, far as we know. |

how do you know they haven't been invented yet? ;) maybe that's what flipped the car! |

It is called Electronic Stability Control, everyone needs it on their car. |

Gannon's solution is far better. I know how to drive an automobile at, and slightly over the limit, I've no need for training wheels. |
