Just fyi about the health problem as a cause... witnesses saw and heard the right front tire blow and send it off the highway at speed. When it was on the tow truck, I could see it clearly had a catastrophic failure of that tire with tread missing and large rip with shredded cord showing.
Also the dirt area that was crossed is dry loose dirt and gravel and a slight down hill coming down off the highway, so trying to slow a heavy coach on that loose surface without locking it up and possibly rolling would have been difficult at best.
And... you cover 300' in about 4 seconds at that speed! Think about it.
