    You can read about it at http://www.sptimes.com. I've been on the ride a
    couple times, and where they describe the accident happening isn't where
    they lean the truck. The girl who seems to be hurt the worst feels the
    driver was at fault. Apparently hit the throttle and yanked the wheel at
    the same time. They do that for effect, to through the passengers around
    a bit. I just don't get it since I recall it being pretty level where
    the accedent occured.
