The bend is behind?

You're probably right @Tubulat. Note that the lamp post has been knocked down 'away from camera' which indicates that was the direction travel before impact.

Give the guy a break? Because why?   How about incorporating road, traffic and weather conditions when driving and then adjust accordingly…

 

He obviously did not in order to flip a van and made worse in that he was probably hired to drive people from A to B…just another factor in the driving equation which he did not even consider…willful negligence causing injury
