Couple poor towing characteristics and a shorter WB of the SUV, I could easily see it being a sway issue. Pure speculation at this point but from my experience thats where I'd put my money.
I think it could have gone something like this:
They were going down a slight hill and the driver most likely applied the vehicle brakes. Either the trailer brakes weren't hooked up (no 7-pin connector or brake controller on the SUV) or didn't apply enough to slow down at the same rate as the SUV causing it to load up the rear suspension on the SUV and lift the front wheels off the ground. With the TT now traveling faster than the SUV and the SUV front wheels in the air, the SUV deflected off course and began a significant sway. The TT passed the SUV that acted as an anchor and the whole thing spun around 180 degrees, TT flipped on it's side and disconnected from the SUV and everything went into the ditch.
