    Speed, drugs, and booze will do it all of the time. The way that car looks, the driver landed on their head but was nowhere to be found. Hope they are ok.

    Like the police would not get any owner, insurance etc due to the lack of our Mr 5 district back in times setting up of the DMV info. No progress at DMV. SMH!!

    I've said it before and I'll say it again "a well rested, sober, person driving the speed limit and paying due care and attention, could not manage to do that"

      These fools don’t seem to understand you can’t be getting behind the wheel while inebriated. Hate to say it but it is only a matter of time before one of them drive themselves over a steep cliff and the car gas tank explodes on impact. Sometimes you got to talk hard to a person for them to get it. DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE. IF YOU ARE GOING TO DRINK, GET A DESIGNATED DRIVER.

      Who said it was a "he"? From the FB posts, it appears to have been a female who left personal items in the car. Shouldn't be too hard to trace!

    I would suspect the twisted wheels (damaged wheel bearings) cause the car to flip as the driver drives at high speed. (Judging by the physics). Could the bad roads have caused the bearings to fail? (Asking for a friend)
