This was what was in our front yard looked like EARLY this morning. I dragged the Crepe Myrtle (sp?) off the driveway to let the tow truck pull in to load up the car last night ... it was squarely across the driveway after the car took it out... happened just before 1 AM, and thankfully both girls inside were fine. The car apparently slid across our front yard sideways, hit the crepe myrtle, and then when they hit the timber on the edge of the driveway it flipped -- missing both marker posts at the end of the driveway as well as the bucket o' flowers near the head of the driveway on the church side. The car ended up right side up, both front tires deflated, in reverse, engine running. The airbags deployed, and I THINK they were both wearing their seatbelts ...

(left) the car ended up in the background -- top right of the picture -- the dark patches in the grass -- nose down in the ditch, perpendicular to the road.

(right) I can't quite figure out how the two sets of tracks were made ... anyone got any ideas?

(below) The long shot -- from where the car first went off the road on the right side (seems there was some critter in the road that they tried to avoid hitting), overcorrected, and spun over onto the left side. Good thing nobody was coming in the other direction.
