Looks like she was new to driving a manual transmission car and didn't know how to use the clutch. She was probably concentrating on the shifter and the clutch and forgot to look where she was going.

That was my assumption as well, but even still it takes quite a bit of (anti?) talent to flip over a car in that situation.

[j.ess]

lmao.

Wow.
Never seen anything quite like that before.

I'm might not be the best, but I know now for sure that I'm not the worst.

Nice, I wonder how dumb she felt afterwards, if it wasnt set up.

[elcamino1]

Didn't take much to flip it!!!

[Damkid]

:shock: OMG

This is not what it appears. More than meets the eye. Watch it again and pause it at 0:27. All forward momentum stops. Now start it again for a split second, and stop at 0:28. It now rolls over as if something lifted it. That what it is. This isn't even new. It has an air actuated cylinder under the right side of the van to flip it. Hollywood has been doing this in movies for years. Think about it. That van weighs what 3,000 lbs? Its moving at 4-5 mph? There doesn't even appear to be impact damage when it flips.

This however (http://tinyurl.com/aag8ae) may be believed by some to be a myth, but indeed is very real. Could it happen to a Festiva?

All I get to see on this is a relatively blank page

[David88]

Idk why the link didn't work. Here is the text from the page. The second to the last sentence sums it up.

TEXT:\ Investigators Sunday examined the mangled car pulled from the Straits ofMackinac in an effort to learn how it plunged from the Mackinac Bridge with asuburban Detroit woman trapped inside.

Relatives identified the victim as Leslie Ann Pluhar, 31, of Royal Oakafter her Yugo subcompact was pulled from 150 feet of water early Saturdayevening, Sgt. Kenneth Hardy said from the state police post at St. Ignace.The body was taken to a St. Ignace funeral home and was to be transportedto a Grand Rapids hospital for an autopsy, possibly later today, Hardy said.

State police investigators spent Sunday inspecting the car in St. Ignaceand trying to reconstruct the accident, Hardy said. A ruling on the possiblecause of the crash - the first of its kind in the Mackinac Bridge's 32-yearhistory - could be made within several days, he said.

The car fell 170 feet from the bridge on Sept. 22. Pluhar's relatives saidshe was headed to the Upper Peninsula to meet her boyfriend.



Eight days passed before weather conditions became calm enough to let ateam of 12 state police divers begin the recovery effort. They entered theStraits on Saturday morning and attached steel cables to the car. A crane onthe Coast Guard buoy tender Buckthorn pulled the car to the surface at 6:40p.m. Saturday.

``Because of the extensive accordion-like damage to the front and rear ofthe vehicle, we were unable to extricate the victim first,'' said Lt. MichaelCushman, who headed the recovery.

At least four members of Pluhar's family watched from a boat circling nearthe dive area.

``We are thankful. We will now have the opportunity to return to our homes,have a proper burial and attempt to put our lives back in order,'' the familysaid in a statement read by Cushman during a news conference late Saturday.

Eyewitnesses and some early police accounts indicated strong winds forcedthe car over the side of the bridge. But Max Coburn, chief engineer with theMackinac Bridge Authority, said the car probably was exceeding the 45-mphspeed limit.
