Default And another one bites the dust

My "aquaintence" was basically driving like he was superman on a dirt road. I was behind him on a Dakota outing and his rear kicked out, over corrected and ramped up an embankment. Truck went airborne and barrel rolled twice before landing on it's wheels. Driver mangled his hand because it was hanging out the window when he flipped, passenger was unharmed.
Pic to come in a minute...

for two flips I'd say that dakotas are built pretty rugged.
