Samenvatting

A theoretical study of the incident suggested that the overturning could be explained by the car being braked within a small critical range of brake pressures, the rear wheels losing adhesion and causing the car to spin, this building up a sideways acceleration and a rotation in roll. This might have been sufficient to overturn the car on a surface having a high coefficient of friction.
