Correction: Lex is remote operating the car and probably rigged it with an explosive charge that he set off to make it crash.

Presumptions of what might have been done do not negate a mistake for how a special effect is made, especially since we do not know this is part of the plot to purposefully flip the car.

It is made very clear that Lex Luthor is operating the car from the remote control and also uses a device to flip the car. This was 100% part of his plan to stop the truck carrying the missile, made even more clear by the fact that Miss Tessmacher is pretending to be a car accident victim, and Lex himself is pretending to be a paramedic. So yes: the device that was used in real life can be seen, but within the world of the movie, it makes sense that we see the device because it's what Lex used.
