PARTY #2 (P-2)(TEVES) WAS DRIVING VEHICLE #2 (TOYOTA) SOUTHBOUND ON SR-49 AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR APPROACHING P-2. P-1 ALLOWED V-1 TO TRAVEL INTO THE SOUTHBOUND LANE. P-2 OBSERVED V-1 TRAVEL INTO HIS PATH, BUT DID NOT HAVE TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE LEFT FRONT OF V-1 COLLIDED WITH THE LEFT FRONT OF V-2. P-1 OBSERVED OTHER VEHICLES APPROACHING SOUTHBOUND AND P-1 TURNED V-1 TO THE RIGHT. V-1 TRAVELED UP THE ROCK EMBANKMENT CAUSING V-1'S REAR TRAILER TO OVERTURN, SPILLING A LOAD OF ASPHALT ACROSS THE TRAFFIC LANES.
