How did Kim crash her car?

I was a bit confused as well. I think she might've dosed off behind the weel. She's been exhausted for weeks, even with the Mesa Verde account. And now with this new one, she's getting even less rest. So, maybe she just fell asleep.

It was hinted a few episodes ago when she set the alarm in the car, and the next thing you know is that the alarm was already ringing. It was the same execution. They were trying to show us how tired she is. She can fall asleep quickly and has to be drinking coffee constantly. It was great.

Yes, she dozed off. That's how it happens. We were experiencing it from her perspective. If we had actually watched her falling asleep, then it would be our perspective. I thought it was well-done. It was like we were "waking up" the same time that she did.

I think you may need to watch that scene again. She may have fallen asleep as others have suggested, but I don't think that is what is implied. You can see from the aftermath of the car crash that the road had a very sharp curve, and my interpretation was that she simply was too focused on the details of the presentation/case, almost in a daze, that she didn't notice the curve. This would be possible if she were travelling at a high speed based on what the curve looked like.

However, other posters may be right that it was implied that she fell asleep, but the way the scene cut so quickly that's not how I viewed it. I will rewatch it later today.

Not sure what everyone is so confused about here. Anyone familiar with this show (and Breaking Bad) is familiar with the artistic style. We've seen many incidents in the POV of other characters and Gilligan has made many scenes out to be surreal and/or gritty/realistic.

It's as simple as this: she either dosed off or spaced out. No great mystery here.

She fell asleep at the wheel. That is how it works when you fall asleep, the last thing you remember is not the moment of the accident, you wake up when you crash but you have no memory of how it happened. So what we see on screen is what she saw and what she remembered. There is a blackout (time missing) when she was asleep.
In her mind, one minute she's driving and the next thing she knows she's off the road and bleeding. The time in between, she was asleep and her car drifted across several lanes.. So we don't see that happen, because she didn't see it.

She fell asleep at the wheel of her car and crashed.
