I'm sure we started to enter a turn, but then I felt the car went off the road, and if we started going by loose gravel, — said Clark. The next thing I remember tall grass hit the windshield, and we're going at a strange angle in the ditch. After that the car fell on its right side and then rolled over upside down."
