Rollover Rt 93-north, Ashland NH

Hey there ..... no, I was happy to get the hell away from that Rt 93 roll over ..... and just thankful the flying Honda did not fly smack into my car, a Subaru. The Honda pilot did a fast forward somersault and rolled to the left onto the left shoulder. If it had rolled right, it maybe could have struck my car.

I was in the right lane doing 35-mph on the two black pavement grooves in the slush. The other car, a black Honda Pilot was flying past me in the left hand lane, doing 75-mph or something when it just did an instant somersault about 200' up front me, and I could see it up in the air for a couple seconds as I drove past, and then it lands upside down on the grass shoulder. I could see it in my right outside mirror. It was wild and all happened in seconds. I was thinking "yikes, holy smokes" and was a couple hundred yards up the road by then at the front of a line of three cars in the right lane.

This wrecked late model black Honda Pilot was most likely totaled with a crushed roof or something and is maybe located at an Ashland NH car wreck lot or somewhere. Maybe is at Rusty's in Tilton? Would be interesting to see a photo of this car after the smash-down and hear what happened to the driver and any passengers.

I'm under the impression that "modern" cars are built so the passenger compartment is protected and the front and back absorb the force of an impact. Nevertheless, crash tests are done at 35 mph or 40 mph depending on who is doing the test. That's going into a solid wall. They apparently don't test for rollovers or an impact of two vehicles with a combined approach speed that could easily be over 100 mph. The accident in question is scary just to think about.
