From the article: "Los Altos Hills resident Scott Wills, who was at the scene, told the Voice that emergency crews had to extract one woman trapped in the vehicle using the Jaws of Life, and was later transported to Stanford Hospital."
Why was Scott Wills transported to the hospital? Or did you mean to write something different? ;-)

I'm guessing that the Ford does not get flipped like that unless someone was way over the posted speed limit.

@Daneel - great grammatical comment! "Eats, shoots, and leaves" vs "Eats shoots and leaves"...
@Wow - depending on whether or not the top-heavy SUV was struck by another vehicle or not, your "guess" may be inaccurate....

No way. No way both were going 25. Uh-uh. It didn't happen that way.

@Professional experience,
As F=MA (Force = Mass x Acceleration), a 2-3 ton vehicle traveling at 25 mph can generate a pretty good "punch". Sufficient to knock over a brick wall, punch thru the wall of a house, or potentially tip over a top-heavy SUV. I have no idea how fast these two vehicles were going, but see no reason to discount the reported 25 mph. Just sayin'.....

Nope. 100% sure. We'll just have to disagree. The driver knows.
Oh sure, anything can be argued, as we see here, but I'm already right so it's a moot point.

I heard that the Suburban was driving down Levin. The other car ran the stop sign going from Sun Mor onto Doverton.
Suburban did not have too much time to even hit the brakes, as they were so close to the intersection.
Suburban driver was sent to hospital with broken arm. Hope the other person is OK.
