On some cars turning off the key far enough might lock the steering.
Another significant point no one has mentioned yet is the speed the
car was travelling. Did I see it said here that the car was doing
120mph? It takes time to get to 120, depending on the car anything
from seconds to 10's of seconds. It makes one wonder how fast they
were going when the problem was first "observed", and how much time
elapsed while the driver was looking for a solution.
