wonder what happened ?.. going over on the inside of the bend would suggest he met something oncoming in the middle of the road and took avoiding action not realising the bank ? .. on the phone perhaps ?

RIBase
Given the short time it's been off the road before tipping over,it certainly suggests either he clipped the kerb and the steering spun out of his hands or he's steered very sharply to take avoiding action.

Doesn't look like he was moving fast when he went over-his windscreen's intact. It wouldn't be if he'd gone along on his side.

He was going to fast and miss judged the bend which has been eroded by the river a bit
