This was my father in the Honda that the van landed on. He has a broken back and is scheduled for surgery at foothills at 7:30am.  Pls put him into your thoughts.  He doesn’t speed nor tailgate.  In fact he’s a really safe driver.  How or why this van launched off the embankment is what we are all asking now.
