Very happy she is ok. We were all young once, and all learn a few hard lessons. She learned a very valuable lesson that didnt cost a thing (no injuries), the car can be replaced.
I know the vehicle climbed a tree first, but to roll 3 1/2 times, I would estimate her speed closer to 75mph. A rollover scrubs off a lot of speed very quickly. I think you would get a good 1 to 1 1/2 times at 25mph, coming off the tree like she did. If she was spinning, a little less speed would get you around a few times. Loose gravel is like driving on marbles, then if there are a few washboard bumps, its all over, if your speed is too high.
I can't believe no one stopped, yet one of them had to call 911. I think your right, the original driver crowding, probably watched it in his rearview mirror, then was too embarrassed to stop, thinking he contributed to it by crowding. In our state, the 911 records are public, not sure they list the callers ID, might be worth looking at.
I bet she learned more in those 2 seconds than the last so many years you have been talking to her. My oldest one is in the stage that she thinks we don't know a thing. But, I was there too when I was that age.
