How do people manage to roll these things daily driving? He must have been going pretty fast to accomplish this.

Easy to flip if you aren't used to them. Had a scary moment in my ZR2 the other day coming around a turn. Too used to my f-body. Gotta take those turns much slower.

lol....as soon as I saw that first post I was going to mention CR's crash. They are very top heavy vehicles, and if you're used to driving a low to the ground car or smaller vehicle they are very easy to roll. Any very sudden movements can cause them to flip. I've come close with mine a few times.
Either way, sucks for the driver. looks like a really bad accident.
