The reports are she crashed in the road near where he went off. That's a pretty straight stretch so I'm not sure what happened to him but perhaps she saw him go into the ditch then panic braked and lost control. Of course it could have been deer or other wildlife they were trying to avoid. Sadly right now only one person knows what happened.
