Sobering... In-the-car instruction is getting to be more of an issue. I love doing it, but if I had small children I'm not sure I'd be in the right seat.

Thread in a different forum indicated the driver had a heart attack and the instructor steered the car away from traffic braking for turn 1.

"The driver’s side of the car hit a berm off the track before the car flipped.."
Berm at the end of the front straight?

... Apparently ... sounds like the driver may have had a medical situation that caused a fatal accident. It sounds like the driver died and the instructor was airlifted to a local hospital. Lost control in turn one, slid side ways, rolled and landed on the roof. The driver was killed and instructor in critical condition Sad situation and condolences to all involved and their families
