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.
I would assume that a person would automatically slam on the brakes if possible, without worrying about rolling, etc. perhaps a heart attack is indicated.

yep, but if she had a weak heart, it could have triggered something.
