It landed on the driver seat roof on the guardrail on then came back down on its wheels facing backwards. A violent stop. I was maybe 5-6 cars back, so maybe 1/10-2/10s mile behind. I usually stop at these things but like 10 of the cars in front of me pulled over and I knew it was bad when I drove by and saw no one in the driver seat, so I went to work. I don’t know if she was ejected or now down low in the car or what.

It was like watching a Winston cup vid when the cars get up in the air, you see bottom of the car and it seems to float. Bizarre.
Wow. I was expecting it to be two good 'ol boys, never meanin' no harm.

That's wild though. I saw a Kia Sportage do that on the parkway in the rain once. Very messy but nobody was injured.
