Car Flips After Speeding Through Rotary

Police in Revere, Massachusetts recently shared traffic cam footage of a vehicle speeding through a rotary, running off the road, then flipping in a shocking crash. It’s just the latest example of people behaving recklessly on public roads.

Even criminals can’t handle roundabouts.

Revere police say the accident happened on the night of March 16 at Brown Circle where Squire Road and the Salem Turnpike intersect. You can see in the included video footage the crossover just barrels straight into the rotary, hits the curb, goes onto the grass, launches off a berm, then flips onto its roof.

We know people struggle with roundabouts and rotaries, but this is truly ridiculous. The cause of the crash wasn’t officially cited by police.

In response to the accident, Revere Police Department says it will engage in more traffic enforcement efforts. The idea is to get people to slow down and pay attention, hopefully preventing more incidents like this one.
