Man, that makes me cringe... had to be a scary accident, especially with all that sand, not being able to see a darn thing...

One of them was sticking his hand out of the sunroof as clearly seen in the pics, not exactly "safe driving" going on there while on a steep sandy hill. Plus, this region of the world is infamous for dangerous drivers who pull crazy maneuvers. I wouldn't be at all surprised that the door popped open because it wasn't closed properly, or because one of them tried to get out.

Looks like the guy tried to bail. I know some Jeep guys who do some hardcore off-roading and have absolutely thrashed their rigs, but their Jeeps are OLD and not worth a ton of $$$$. They've rolled them over too driving on rocks and my one buddy got his stuck up past the windshield wipers in a river.

I guess my point is it must be nice to have enough $$$$ to completely trash a new $80,000 truck and not think anything of it.

Yikes!
I can't see where would you bail out though since it's rolling downward?
