Of How I Could Have Died Today!

Today, as I was in the freeway coming back from work, I looked behind and noticed that a lady in a nice white car was approaching me at a frightening speed. I also noticed that she was on the phone, looking away from the road. I was getting a little scared and I wasn't sure what to do, but then, when she was really, really close to me, she saw me and rapidly veered to the left (I was in the far right lane). When I looked through the rear view mirror, I noticed that she was speeding towards the far left across the freeway. When I looked again, I saw the car roll over in that dirt section between the southbound-northbound freeways. It was insane; I've never seen anything like that.

I immediately pulled over and walked back where the car was. Many police cars were already there, and some ambulances were already on their way. Another guy had already pulled over, and since he was behind the white car, he saw the accident better than me. According to him, the car doors opened when the car was rolling over, and some people flew out of it, maybe kids. I tried to see if the driver and the passengers were OK, but I couldn't see anything at all.

It was strange how calm I was when this all happened. It almost felt like I was watching a movie; it was unreal. But once I started thinking more about it, I became quite shaky. I am very worried about the people in the car, and I really hope that they are OK.

I can't find any information on the accident on the internet. The accident was right before the 335 exit on I-15, northbound. It was today at about 2:45-2:50. If anyone hears anything, I'd appreciate any information.
