The car that struck the SUV could have alternatively braked, to allow the merging car to go ahead of it.

That and there was absolutely no reason for the car to swerve anyways.. the car on the ramp stayed in the right most lane.. never even entered the center lane from what i can see.

My guess is that the person in the car wasn't paying attention at all and when they saw someone on their right all of a sudden, they panicked and swerved.

BTW, what kind of SUV was it, Grand Cherokee? I cannot tell.
 
Summary: Dumbass merging hits woman in SUV. Woman in SUV has the driving skills of a monkey on crack-cocaine, swerves & over-corrects wildly, causing her ginormous SUV (that was only carrying herself & her cell phone glued to her ear) to roll over and crash spectacularly.

Looks more like person in middle lane sees merging car (another SUV) on his/her right and swerves left, striking SUV in left lane. I think iamwiz82 has it right on.

SUV or car, if you get your wheels caught in dirt while travelling sideways @ 70mph you are probably going to roll spectacularly.

B/C we all know that in a split second you would have reacted with the skills of The Stig and would have saved the vehicle...

Dumbass because he\she got struck at high speed below the center of gravity and lost control?

That or an Explorer I think.

EDIT I think its def a Ford, doesn't look like a Jeep on the back end.

Kinda looks like it could be an import as well.....like a Nissan or Toyota. It has a lot of trim on the sides.

The Stig? 😕

It doesn't look like the SUV was forced off the road by the hit, looks to me like the driver overreacted and couldn't control the SUV; who knows what speed they were doing. My point was just more silly women in big vehicles they don't know how to drive/can be dangerous & difficult to control in situations like this.
 
You can see the video broast cast from our local news station here. http://wzzm13.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=55016

iamwiz82 is correct. Someone was merging onto the highway. The person in the right lane must not have been paying attention to the merging traffic and was trying to switch to the left lane. Not realizing that there was someone in the left lane. They clip the SUV causing it to go off the road. It looks like she over corrected and the SUV started flipping.

According to WZZM it was an Explorer.

True true. The more I look at the video, the more it looks like the middle car didn't even hit the SUV 😕 Its hard to tell...

No, I don't think they touched. Looks like both cars overreacted. The SUV was just unlucky that the ground was soft enough to sink into.

I guess the only way to know if they touched is to check the side of the SUV for any dents on that side.

Nice. Reality-based, descriptive, yet with a touch of satire. 8.75/10.
