My best guess is they were speeding maybe trying get away from something using the gravel road next to the tracks. Went to come down and lost traction. It’s all gravel there. Had to be going fast to pop the guardrail off and then flip and hit the pole to turn the car around. Speed was definitely a factor.

Probably trying to get away from their snack dealer they owed money to for taking credit
