Reckless driving, combined with a vehicle whos dynamics, like it or not, make it far more likely to roll over. Roll over contributed to the death in this accident, as it does in most roll over accidents.
I know people here get all jumping ugly when you bring up the facts about these vehicles, but its reality. Yes, these cars have higher centers of gravity and are far more prone to roll over, when a car rolls over you are far more likely to be thrown from the vehicle, you are far more likely to wind up with head and upper torso indjuries, you are far more likely to be crushed.... that's reality folks.
Cars and other vehicles with lower centers of gravity by and large don't "Roll" in many accidents where SUV's will.. they will spin out, and do other things, but it takes a hell of a lot to get a care to roll over, usually it involves the car hitting and embankment or other thing that puts the car airborne at an odd angle to get a passenger car to roll.
Many people who drive SUV's don't respect this reality, they weave them in and out of traffic like they are in some sports car.
The facts are the facts, and as much as people here may not want to hear it... when involved in accidents, SUV's are more likely to roll, and if your vehicle rolls you are more likely to be seriously injured of killed. That's reality.
I drive a Tracker (aka Suzuki Sidekick). I am aware of warnings that the vehicle is more likely to turn over. However, I also drove jeeps in the Army and they had the same issue. I simply temper my driving accordingly.
If you don't drive like Speed Racer, this problem is not going to come up. The responsiblity for this accident lies soley with the driver and the indviduals that let her drive.
