The vehicle was involved in a single vehicle roll over crash. The sheet metal of the roof pealed down and away from the frame of the vehicle. The windshield separated from the metal at the top portion of the windshield. The metal then began to separate from underneath the weld along the sides of the roof. The metal was then rolled inward into the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The metal pinned the front passenger seat back down and to the right against the passenger side B-pillar. Both A-pillars did not sustain any structural damage as the result of the crash.
