Did anyone notice the skid mark's in the video (41-43 sec's) on the road surface from right to left going towards the opposite guard rail just prior to the first bit of debris stuck in the guard rail.
Makes me think that if a witness mentioned speed as factor and based on visible fiver damage the driver had lost control of the unit on the curve a couple of hundred feet before the fiver flipped and fought it but had over corrected, crossed the centre line hitting the opposite guard rail with enough energy to cause the fiver to tip.
Bottom line - slow down in unfamiliar areas.
