Yes, unfortunately like everything else on this site, this story is true.
While on their way back from a fun day to celebrate her birthday at an amusement park, Sierra Treichler and her boyfriend Jonel Santana found themselves upside down in a rocky ditch. Their brakes failed and steering control went out, causing them to lose control and flip over an embankment.
Reports stated the front wheel hit a large rock on the embankment, causing the car to flip over on its roof into a drainage ditch known as a swail. The ditch was filled with large rock to control water runoff from the highway during heavy periods of rain.
“It was a sad end to a perfect day,” the young man said while standing with Sierra along the side of the road watching a tow truck from Tire Ranch removing the wrecked vehicle.
Emergency crews responded to the accident scene after receiving numerous pages, but luckily reported there were no serious injuries.
