RobbyD took pictures with a narrative of the rollover SUV accident at 45th and Midvale yesterday. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. Click the photo below to go to his photo stream.
The same thing happened to me a few months back in my (RIP) Honda Element when I was broadsided at an uncontrolled intersection. So be careful people! Its not only the ginormous SUVs that flip more easily than expected.
Happened at 5:00 p.m.. Someone was probably calling in the list of groceries to pick up on the way home…dinner on their mind…. glad no one was seriously hurt. Nice pics, Robby!
The photos identify the SUV as a Toyota product…I can’t tell what model though. Detroit isn’t the only center of hulking-vehicle production. I’m glad no one was hurt. It was a poorly known fact during the SUV years that those vehicles were actually more dangerous than “regular” cars due to their propensity to flip and kill their occupants.
That looks like a Ford Expedition which are notoriously top-heavy and prone to rollovers.
