If it nosed into the bank or culvert with enough inertia at an angle say from the standing water in the lane the momentum could do it, they are not exempt from the laws of physics

Glad no one needed to go to hospital, but I wonder why she couldn't get out after both her children?
Maybe safer to stay inside rather than tell hubby?

Is it not obvious that she took avoiding action as the road was blocked with fire engines. I'm to old to know everything......

It's only tipped over, hardly dramatic, women do that all the time , it's a women thing, just needs pulled back up and it will be fine, well apart from a little bit of time in a bodyshop. Anyway it's a good time for her to check her bushes

That may well be the case but I am sure that she has the ability to string together a coherent and grammatically correct sentence.
Seriously though - there but for the grace of God etc. It is easy to point the finger at someone elses' misfortune but as Beanie says, we all have incidents in our motoring past that we would rather forget, I'm sure. The important thing is that the occupants were all safe and uninjured. Insurance can do what insurance does. Personally, if this was my family, I'd be thankful we had chosen a car like the D4 to protect us rather than something less robust.
Peace and love

At the end of the day they are all safe. And to be brutal it is a lump of metal and plastic that can be repaired. Bodies aren't so easy to repair sometimes.HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE
