The right side of the vehicle then dropped off the curb with the weight now being thrown to the right causing it to roll over and ending upside down.

The vehicle would have had to have skidded across the roadway, but I can see no marks on the roadway to support that theory, so I could be all wrong. Hopefully, the newspaper will explain the details, and if so, I hope someone will give the explanation in tomorrow's TOTV.
While I agree that is a possible scenario, especially since I had just previously posted the exact same theory, I must also quote Obi Wan Kenobi---"Only a Sith speaks in absolutes"
