the damage is less than I thought it would be in all honesty… evidently she was driving westbound, cruise set at 70mph, in the fast lane… somehow ended up driving into the center median, then bounced back into the westbound lane, facing eastbound, on the wheels.
at some point in time the car skidded/rolled on the concrete (as evident by the fenders, a pillars, etc) and she obviously nailed the passenger rear corner into the grass hard…
My hypothesis is she drifted to the center median, when the tire dropped off, it hooked, she spun around, slammed the rear passenger side into the grass median (as evident by the large amount of damage on the rear corner, and the dirt in the window track, etc), then she must have rolled or skidded or something back onto the street… Not sure. She remembers spinning around both clockwise and counter-clockwise…
But I can’t tell… but overall… the passenger compartment really did quite well… the seats still all moved, the rear seats folded down, the doors opened. they didn’t try to open the tailgate…
they are already working the purchase of another forester…
she is sore, bruised rib, needs some time to rest … but she should be fine…
