We caught this craziness on one of our cameras a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the driver was going a little to fast on the off ramp to I-95 and lost control. He rolled over a couple of times and took out a light pole. He then climbs out and seems to be ok somehow.

The first turn comes up on you pretty quick if you are drunk or texting. You can see he totally missed the turn by the cloud of dirt that was kicked up.

I wonder if he jammed on his brakes because of the parked truck and he lost control?
And likely yanked the wheel to the left VERY hard, setting up the skid.

Looks like there was also at least 3 reflective 30" traffic cones in the curve; it looks like he rolled over the one closest to the truck.

Driver just going too @#$% fast....could have been a lot worse if they'd hit the rear of that truck, probably would have taken the roof (and their head) clean off. The rollover may have been a blessing in disguise!

They're lucky nobody was on sitting the passenger side of the car

Something to be said for the old saying...keep the shiny side up, good buddy.
Yea, though I drive down the highway of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
