Now, having analyzed that, this is a big, heavy car. The suspension is probably too soft for really aggressive driving (true of virtually all production cars — even performance ones — that the marketing people want to sell to mom and pop). Once it gets squirrelly, it would be very difficult to save it. The best option would have been to mow over the fence on the inside of the corner and stop in the weeds, but this is completely against most driver's natural tendencies.
Why has no one mentioned the poor trees that were hurt by the crash? Pamala Glover would be quite angry (I couldn't find a clip where she says "I love trees," but here is the character anyway
