Mechanical issue , medical issue maybe . Alcohol / drugs maybe .
It is a Straight roadway. Inattentive driving and speed more likely. Debris field , distance of travel and extensive damage from several rolls indicate speed was major factor. Hope he learns and makes it ..
Cell phones …the bane of driving. Whatever is on your phone, will STILL be one your phone(!) once you safely reach your destination. Look at it AFTER you have stopped driving.
Speed. That’s certainly one factor.
We should change St. Mary’s County’s name to Accident County. Nothing but accident after accident after accident… The auto insurance companies keep raising our rates to cover the costs of these accidents. If only people would drive correctly, stop being in a hurry, and put their phones away, there would be far less accidents.
