Well.......we all know that Al was hanging on to the car. And it's possible he grabbed the wheel, in which case his body weight would rotate the wheel counterclockwise, pointing the car into the opposing lanes.
That said, it could easily have been avoided. What annoys me about the media coverage is the emphasis on what Al did, rather than what Bryant didn't do, which was stop the car.
Great point. One which reminds me that no one responded to my point here. Particularly after Bryant's boxing came up in this thread, I would have thought my appeal to old-fashioned manliness would have elicited some response.
