With what happened, how you described it, God was watching over you. If you don't believe in God, then something or someone was.

It's a life changing experience, that's for sure, going through something like this. 











By the way, it was God, lol.

What kind of car is/was that?  Looked pretty sharp.

Did my best to try and compensate, as my back end popped out. Unfortunately, a little too late. I went through three lanes of traffic (on 71s) while doing a 180 spin and crashing through the woods, going an additional 20-40 feet. I came out banged up, with a mild concussion, strains, bruising and a wounded soul. It was definitely an emotional night that seemingly went on for forever.

I'm fortunate to come out alive, and nobody else was put into danger. Thankfully, I had several people stay with me, and also had great service from PD/FD as well. Unfortunately, I got a ticket. (Sucks)

Now I'm waiting on the adjuster to determine the damage of my car. I'm hoping for a total, as something like this, I can't imagine ever driving the same...

All the best.

I got in a wreck going up 75N on my way to my job, rain was terrible, I couldn't see out my back window or anything hardly, I was going 45 with hazards on since that thing had no backend weight to it whatsoever, I had to get over to my far right for the Kenwood exit and I didn't see anyone coming up my right side so I turn my hazards off and use my blinker to gradually start to get over and all of the sudden this guy IS coming up the right lane and without jerking the wheel or panicking I start to move back to my original lane and all hell broke loose. I did at least two 360 turns, felt like I was in a hurricane knowing for sure that I was dead with there being a semi behind me and to the far left lane of me, as I was spinning out I finally crashed into the middle divider of the highway a mile from my exit. I was fine, no one got hurt or was involved in my accident thank God and my car wasn't even totaled. An off duty cop stopped and pulled over to ask if I was okay, I was a little shooken up but I told him I was fine and thanked him for stopping. My car was JUST out of the lane of traffic, my back left bumper was what was damaged and that was it which I took off later and made it look good as new after a little paint and everything she was fine lol.

Morale of this story is, God was watching over both of in these moments Caped Crusader. There wasn't an ice cubes chance in hell that I thought I would dodge those semi trucks while uncontrollably hydroplaning. At the end of it all a cop showed up and long story short I got a ticket for failure to maintain control of my vehicle, but the cop completely dismissed the fact that the guy that was behind me in the right lane didn't even have his headlights on, if he did I probably would have never attempted to get over that soon in the first place. But that was my fault I guess. By law in most states, if you have your wipers on you HAVE to have your headlights on. I thought that was common sense but what do I know, it was only monsoon type weather lol Glad you're okay man.
