Unless there was some sort of faulty mechanism, it probably is the SUV's fault.
"So why was she going so fast? And why in a rented vehicle? And why rent a vehicle at an airport when you're a local person? Who knows why she was stopped at the roadside earlier"
From what I know, they were trying to make a 4 hour trip in 2 hours, the rented SUV was because none of them had a vehicle that would fit all the people that were going, and from what I am told, they were seen stopped on the highway right before the accident, switching drivers
