Ah, now that"s more like it. Boy she must have been going pretty fast the hit an SUV and turn it over. Glad no one was seriously hurt. This is going to cost though, sure hope she had insurance.

Trucks can be turned over if you hit the back right tire. The F.B.I use that maneuver all the time to take down crazy people. But the key is that you have to be going the right speed are you will end up road kill.
