How freaking sad. If there windows were down and they weren’t wearing seatbelts I can see how they might ejected. Poor kids.
Could they have been trying to climb out the window?
In an accident like this there's really no telling what physics is going to do. A probably explanation could go like this, think of it like a Bingo machine: you have multiple, unrestrained balls moving around the interior of the ball, as the ball spins a ball will fall out of the opening. Now think of that Bingo machine ball as a vehicle with at least two open windows, 6 unrestrained balls are freely moving as the vehicle flips down the canyon wall, due to the space in the back as the truck flips around those 6 balls really have no where else to go except through the windows as the vehicle tumbles.
This scenario is based on the speculation that the truck flipped, which I drew from the scene photo showing a steep incline of the embankment and the fact the truck landed on it's roof.
Thanks for that info. I don't have one clue about physics. It's very confusing!
