The report is an indepth, multidisciplinary investigation of an accident involving a 1956 DeSoto, 4-door, which was proceeding east on an urban freeway, at a driver stated speed of 75 MPH. The driver swerved to avoid a slower car, lost control, penetrated a W cross section beam type guardrail, and dropped into a large concrete-lined flood control channel. The car spun, rolled, and came to rest on its top in the bottom of the channel. (Author)
