The crash left the driver badly shaken, according to Hildenstab.

Yikes! That falls into the, "I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes", category.

Gotta wonder why that fence existed in the first place- it doesn't look there are too many solid objects that a car can hit if it went off the road...

I have fallen asleep at the wheel twice in my 23 years. The first time their should have been bits of Toyota all over western NC but I woke up about a half second before we hit the guard rail.
Second time I was all the way on the shoulder before I woke up. Nothing keeping me from rolling right up the bank and flipping the car over.
There's no doubt in my mind that my guardian angels get combat pay.

Drainage ditch in the median. It'll roll a car depending on how fast you're going.

And cars on the service road.

Dig the ditch a bit steeper and it'll solve that problem. This is part of why I'd like to see the rumble strips go away; they tend to keep drifting drivers barely on the road, rather than letting them run off into a nice inanimate object right away before they hurt someone.

The driver left Washington early that morning on his way to Idaho.
He "fell asleep" as he was approaching Deer Lodge, Mt. ;/
He must have been asleep long before that - he drove over 200 miles past Idaho :O
-
Imagine the "Oh ****" moment when he woke up after the initial impact, and had 30 yards of guardrail whipping past him INSIDE the suburban..... I have to imagine that was a somewhat surreal moment..........

I must be thinking about this all wrong. In my AO, we only have those fences to protect bridges and waterways. I guess the trees here are for stopping wayward hehicles. :laugh:
