Description of the problem | The vehicle was traveling at 60 mph on the interstate (posted speed limit was 65 in this area) when it was blown by a strong gust of wind across some lose snow/slush. As the vehicle slid, the driver let off the gas and the speed was slowly dropping below 60 mph. The vehicle went off the right-hand shoulder of the interstate into a ditch, where it rolled, landing on the passenger side, roof of, and driver's side of the vehicle, before landing back upright on the wheels and ceasing to roll any further. At no point during the rollover as a result of impact did any of the airbags in the vehicle deploy. There were no passengers in the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle was wearing a seatbelt. The front passenger seat was loaded with luggage heavy enough that the seatbelt light in the vehicle was prompting for the front passenger seatbelt to be used. |
