Corrected entry: When the car runs over the stingers the car goes out of control and goes over a cliff. But stingers are made to bring a car to a controlled stop. Not make it go out of control.

Correction: Not every car (or driver) will react the same way in a situation. Popped tires do not necessarily cause 'a controlled stop' - especially if the driver panics. Will may have reacted by pressing the gas rather than the brake, after the stingers popped the tires. This acceleration, combined with the flat tires, would certainly have caused instability in the car, and could well have sent him out of control. Since the car seems to accelerate over the 'cliff' (actually the edge of the L.A. River aqueduct), it seems likely this is what happened.
