I imagine the driver was found about 20-30 yards from where the steering wheel was found (@1 o'clock 9:42 - 9:44), he must have put one hell of a death grip on that steering wheel, and sailed through the air with it. 12:39 Trooper Morphis locates a bag of weed and a flip-flop @ 11 o'clock (V1 at 12 o'clock), that aligns with the 1 o'clock. That is one hell of a flight path DeeRoh took, just can't see what he hit at about the 2 o'clock position that spun the vehicle landing it towards the west. At 160 mph, he face planted that airbag, wouldn't be surprised if stuck to his face.

The drunk/high kids were laughing because her cousins husband was searching around in the tall grass, on his hands and knees for their baby that had been ejected from the car. (This was the late 60's, before seat belts and baby seats were mandatory.) He ended up snapping and beating one of the kids half to death. Turned out, the baby was deceased, under the overturned car. They found it when the wrecker flipped the car over. Cops refused to arrest the husband for the assault. Things were different back then.
