It was quite odd seeing a pickup truck on its side outside Garrett’s Old Fashioned diner. I can only imagine how frightening it may have been for the patrons looking out the window – much less how scary it was for the passengers! Mission is rather narrow through here so it was bizarre to see a large pickup on its side straddling both lanes.
The police and fire responders were calm and swift to block the roads, address the passengers/injuries, and get traffic flowing again.

Rollover traffic collision in the 2000 Block of State Street. Full City Fire Response.
Not really impressive. A low center of gravity car, the jetta hit a high center of gravity Tacoma and it flipped. This is basic physics. Here is a case of a Mercedes Benz G550 that got rolled by a Prius:

Heavier is not always safer.
MAS GAVIOTA: That’s a fun read about the Prius vs. Merc SUV. ” . . . there’s no denying that it’s embarrassing to know that the poster child of all things we hate in a car (Prius) can so easily take out one of the world’s most rugged off-roaders.” Ha ha. Take that, you off-roader redlight runner.
