On a serious note , was this driver error or just an accident, that could have happened to anyone?
If it was avoidable and the driver was going too fast ( maybe fell asleep?) he deserves to have his licence took off him and maybe face driving charges.
With the prop shaft? falling off and lying in the road and the steering wheels pointing in opposite directions, I would think there is a good case to say mechanical failure.
I wonder why they chose to smash the windscreen instead of exiting the RHS door?
High heels, skirt and panic. The driver was trapped on the Ins and asking for help.

Have a look at the video showing the scene in the dark, the propshaft is not lying on the ground. If a vehicle is on its side then the recovery crew will remove it while access is easier. It is quite common for the track rod to bend when a vehicle goes onto its side. The video also shows numerous tyre marks in the roadway and on the kerbs leading up to the roll-over.
