Update. What happened was this. She lives on a backroad, where it comes out into a 4 lane divided highway ( 2 lanes each way separated by a wide grass median ) they have a short acceleration lane that merges into the first lane. She has a low profile car 2004 Dodge stratus SXT, and had 2 big trucks in front of her ( this highway is very busy ) so they are all getting up to speed to merge which she cant see ahead of her but the rear of the truck, and everyone puts their blinkers on, since she is last she was looking back to see if clear to start getting over unknown to her their was a broke down construction truck in the acceleration lane, the truck in front of her all the sudden swerved and by time she turned and seen what was going on she got startled by the stopped truck and over corrected, her car fishtailed with her rear tire dropping off the pavement ( the median is very steep drop off from pavement and dished ) so basically it grabbed her tire ( pulled it off the rim ) dug in and flipped the car, at the angle it had the momentum to really put a spin on it as it when downhill.
She is very lucky, as there are a lot of accidents in that very spot, now we know why. I dont know if the downed truck is getting cited, but we will talk to the officer and all as well soon because I know they are supposed to set out cones per MODoT and highway patrol standards.... if I believe correctly its 50', 75', 100' and 150' from any CDL vehicles???? correct me if wrong, its been a long while since having a CDL but I do know they have to set out reflectors, cones or flares and their were non anywhere, so their was no warning whatsoever.
She's lucky to get out of that with not much injuries. So I wonder what happened?
