Speed, overcorrecting due to inattentive driving due to cell phone use 🤷♂️🤔
It’s the westseattle car flipping monster that’s how . It strikes again
Something has really changed. You almost never saw a car flipped over when I was younger. Admittedly there are more SUV’s on the road now, but vehicles now have much better suspension systems, better brakes (disc brakes vs drum brakes, anti-lock braking systems, almost no vehicles have the old leaf springs with solid rear axels etc, etc. Yet so many cars flipped over. Maybe speed or distracted drivers looking at cell phones etc. might have a lot to do with it.
In our archives, the first mention of a “rollover” was 18+ years ago.
The location was one that remains much-discussed to this day …
