We were driving the speed limit, came around a curve on hwy 86, hit loose gravel and lost control.....we rolled the vehicle once(landing on our top). as soon as the bronco 2 started to roll over, the top of the cab started buckling like an aluminum soda can...the result was the driver side being smashed about two inches into the driver's seatback. i have seen other bronco 2 that have rolled and they held up much better than ours. my fiancee, our son, our dog and i(being 6 months pregnant) all went to the hospital to get checked. this total damage of the vehicle cost us $200.00 to get the vehicle and our belongings home, not to mention lost wages and hospital bills. |
