The article says "Archambeau, who was driving, stopped at the sign. As he turned left onto 281, the vehicle hit a patch of black ice on the road and overturned, coming to rest just off the highway". Overturning typically involves a vehicle moving fast, while right after it is stopped, a car isn't moving quickly, particularly if it is turning. This begs the question: how did the car get moving fast enough to overturn and go off the road if it had just been stopped? This needs to be explained.

It's in the rest of the sentence: "coming to rest just off the highway in a depression between the road and a former railroad right-of-way 75 ft (23 m) to its north" Even at slow speed, a moving car going down a slope is more likely to flip over. Daniel Case (talk) 16:02, 10 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
