So, for the nay-sayers and stereo typers in the group. I checked my daughter's phone records and there was no phone activity, texting or calls or otherwise from 6:30pm-9:03pm after the accident when my son called me frantic and frightened and shook up and gave me the same story my daughter later gave.

My local retired law enforcement officer verified for me that insurance will always verify the phone activity and question what really happened, so I'm a little more understanding about that now. However, as I mentioned, I verified that my daughter is really doing what I told her to do. Not messing with her phone while she is driving.

Yes, it would appear as though she over corrected (I don't think she used that wording in the police report by the way). I'll get the police report tomorrow along with pictures. Hopefully, I will be able to glean from that why the officer voided the ticket. I also left a message with the officer who will be back on duty saturday to call me and explain why he voided the ticket if he is at liberty to share that. I'll share what I can on here. Probably just about every person on this forum has lost control of a vehicle at one time in their life, some ended up in a wreck and some managed to regain control. For someone with 1 year of driving experience, I'm not too surprised in a situation like this. She was already in the opposite lane of traffic and on loose gravel at the county road entrance where the perp decided to suddenly turn. Dead ahead of her was bar ditch she entered that, the car mostly on the bar ditch sliding sideways and headed back for the pavement where it initiated a rollover once and then ended up back in the bar ditch 20 feet from the highway on its wheels.

In any case, I am VERY thankful God is watching out for my kids. I'm very thankful for the car we put them in. It functioned well on and off the road.
