So my sister somehow found a way to roll her 98 V6 Camaro. Here's her description of it:
Going through construction, the road was making lots of noise. I thought "Wow, they did an AWFUL job with this road." But I hadn't heard it before, so I decided if it was still making that noise by the time I got onto the real pavement 100 ft. or so ahead, that I'd pull over and check my tires.
Well, the bump where the pavements meet must've been too much to handle, so it separated the tire completely. It fishtailed me clockwise (thank God nobody was in the right lane), and when I hit the shoulder sideways (not head on, I must have been facing traffic), it flipped my car, ultimately ending up in a ditch full of mud/water.
The passenger side took most of the damage (thank goodness I was alone). Lost my passenger window during the roll, and items in the back seat and passenger floor ended up outside next to it. Something hit me in the head as I rolled, but nothing big or concerning.
I declined the trip to the hospital, but am monitoring a mild pain next to my right shoulder blade. As shaken as I am, I bet it's just nerves.
...and that, kids, is why you wear your seat belt.
