The incident happened just after 10:15 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of The Market at Spring Creek in southeast Colorado Springs.
A video that has now gone viral on social media shows the SUV reversing at high speed as they hang out of the windows and sunroof.
The car makes a sharp turn as it slides and rolls over.
The two people on the right immediately hit the ground, seemingly crushed by the full weight of the SUV, while the other three are thrown out the windows.
The SUV then completely rolls over before people rush over to help those hanging out of the vehicle.
As bystanders grab those trapped in the car, the video changes to a different angle and shows the underside of the car.
The lights flash on and off briefly as audience members try to turn the lamp over, but the man recording says, “There's someone on the other end.” Don't turn it around, don't turn it around!'

The car horn then goes off when someone else says: 'It's leaking, that stuff is leaking.'
“Lift it up, lift it up, lift it up,” someone else says.
“Push up,” says another.
Just before the video ends, someone starts shouting loudly in the background.
There is no update on the current circumstances of the passengers.
The El Paso County Jail told DailyMail.com that Wentling had been released from jail.
Police say the incident is still under investigation and are calling on anyone with more information to come forward.
