Glad to know all the occupants got out. Regardless of insurance or monetary concerns, don't want to go there. I work with probabilities a lot. There's a pair that's often used in analyzing these occurrences. Probability and consequence. It may be low probability but it is high consequence. And the consequences could have been much worse. If they'd been going 70mph and lost control of the car well....
