Come on people wear those seatbelts.
And for crying out loud PAY ATTENTION when you are driving.

According to the Citizen she was a passenger. I didn't see any comments about the driver's age.

You'd have to be driving pretty darn fast on the road to lose control on a bit of washboard. I have to wonder if the driver had any training / experience to prepare him/her for driving on a logging road.

When a driver makes a mistake and loses control on a gravel road, Electronic Stability Control ("ESC") helps the driver regain control. ESC is especially effective in preventing rollovers, which cause nearly one-third of fatalities. Unfortunately, people are still buying vehicles without ESC. http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/gn/electronic-stability-control.htm
