longitudinal axis. V1 rolled left (driver-side-leading) five quarter turns
before coming to rest on its left plane on the South roadside, facing South.
The crash occured during daylight under rainy conditions. A flat LR tire may
have contributed to the vehicle's loss of traction; the interviewee maintains
that the tire went flat just prior to the crash, however, this could not be
confirmed. V1 was towed due to reported disabling damage; it sustained light
front & top plane damage. V1 was equipped with dual first row frontal advanced
airbags (neither deployed) and first row pretentioners (neither actuated).

The crash occured at night (roadway not lighted) under snowy conditions. V1
was towed due to disabling damage; it sustained moderate front plane damage. V1
had been in a previous crash in which the dual first row frontal airbags
deployed; however, these airbags were never replaced, thus there were no airbags
available in this crash. This vehicle was also originally equipped with first
row pretentioners. The passenger (buckle) pretentioner is believed to have
actuated in the previous crash; it is unknown if the driver (retractor)
pretentioner actuated previously. V1's sole occupant was its driver who was
reported uninjured and not transported to a medical facility.

V1 (1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo) was traveling North in lane #1 of a two-lane,
two-way road. V1 then attempted to overtake/pass a vehicle directly in front of
it; V1 maneuvered to the left (West) from the northbound travel lane into the
southbound travel lane in order to pass the slower-moving vehicle. While in the
southbound lane traveling North, overtaking the other vehicle, V1 lost traction
on the roadway's icy bituminous surface. V1 subsequently began rotating
clockwise as it headed in a Northeasterly direction across the two travel lanes.
After V1 departed the southbound travel lane to the right (East), it traveled
through the northbound travel lane and departed the roadway altogether,
continuing in its clockwise rotation; V1 rotated an estimated total of 450
degrees prior to its roadway departure. V1 proceeded briefly on the East
roadside before its left tire tripped on the ground, causing V1 to overturn
(EVENT 1) about its longitudinal axis. V1 rolled left (driver-side-leading)
three quarter turns before coming to rest on its right plane, facing Southeast
on the East roadside. The crash occured at daylight under clear conditions.
V1 was towed due to disabling damage; it sustained moderate top plane

several cars in front of vehicle 1 waiting for a vehicle to make a left hand.
Vehicle 1, seeing he could not stop in time before hitting the other vehicle,
braked and steered his wheel to the right. The vehicle departed the roadway and
went down an embankment of a ditch. Crossing through the ditch the front of
the vehicle contacted a tree stump causing moderate damage to the front. The
vehicle then drove over the stump contacting the undercarriage, which caused the
floor pan to intrude into the vehicle. The vehicle then came to rest sitting
on top of the stump. The vehicle was towed due to moderate damage. The driver
of this vehicle was not injuried. He was wearing his lap & shoulder belt. The
Vehicle 1 was headed west on a 2 lane, icy, asphalt roadway while vehicle 2 was
headed east on the same roadway. At this point in the roadway it curves right

Vehicle 1, a 2003 Toyota Echo was westbound on snowy, 2 lane rural roadway on a
downgrade, during daylight hours. The driver lost control on the slippery
surface and began to rotate CW. The vehicle departed the roadway off the right
side and struck a snow bank with his left side, then struck a tree with the left
side forward of the LF wheel which accelerated his CW spin. The vehicle
rotated off the tree and struck another tree with the back plane of the vehicle,
and came to rest. The rear suffered considerable crush rendering the vehicle
undriveable. The restrained driver was not injured.
Vehicle #1, a 2002 Ford E-250 van, occupied by two male restrained occupants,
was traveling west in the outboard lane of a 4-lane highway which was divided
by a large median area. At the time of the collision, the roadway was covered
with ice. The driver reported a strong gust of wind/snow which re-directed the
vehicle towards the center median area in a counterclockwise yaw. As the vehicle
departed the left (south) pavement edge of the westbound lanes, it encounted a
shoulder drop-off. This drop-off tipped the vehicle so that the center of
gravity was outboard of its wheels, initiating a 4-quater turn right side
rollover ("fallover") which resulted in moderate top damage. During the rollover
event, the cargo in the back of the van shifted, causing the right side sliding
door to become jammed partially open, which resulted in integrity loss. The
vehicle's rear plane subsequently struck a large diameter tree before it came to
rest upright in the median area facing southeast. Both occupants were
uninjured, as the vehicle was towed from the crash site due to disabling damage.
V1 (1995 Dodge Ram 1500 p/u) was traveling South in lane #2 of a two-lane,
divided highway. An unknown vehicle traveling South in lane #2 of the same
highway, directly in front of V1, began to decelerate. V1 lost control on the
icy highway as a result of the slowing vehicle ahead, and subsequently departed
its travel lane to the left (East). V1 began rotating counterclockwise as it
departed the roadway altogether to the East, and overturned (EVENT 1) on the
roadside shortly thereafter; it rolled right (passenger-side-leading) seven
quarter turns before coming to rest on its left plane on the East roadside. The
crash occured at night under snowy, icy conditions. (*Note: During the
rollover, the unrestrained driver was ejected through the disintegrated LF
glazing.) V1 was towed due to reported disabling damage; it sustained
moderate top plane damage. It was equipped with a driver frontal airbag, which
did not deploy. V1 contained a driver & passenger (FR seating position). The

eastbound on a two-lane, two-way, dry, asphalt, 89 kmph, straight, and level,
rural roadway, when for unknown reasons the vehicle departed the roadway off the
right (south) side. The driver appeared to make a correcting maneuver to get
the vehicle back on the roadway, but overcorrected. The vehicle then came back
on to the roadway for a short distance, and for unknown reasons departed the
roadway again off the right (South) side and entered a ditch. The vehicle
travelled along the ditch in a counterclockwise rotation until it climbed the
north side of the ditch and contacted the unpaved shoulder, where the vehicle
initiated a series of right side rolls along the longitudinal axis. During
