This happened right outside my house one night a few years ago. I live at the base of a cliff and this kid on a minivan crossed the line, tried to correct and ended up going up my neighbors embankment across the road and flipped the van over 5 times. I have accidents in front of my house yearly (live on a tight bend) and I ran like hell to get out there ASAP in case someone was bout to go die on my section of road. Usually I hear a screach of tires and then one or two hits against the guardrail…this was unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. I was convinced I was going to find a dead body.
