Glad to hear you're okay, dude. My brother and I are 8 years apart and I live in Nevada, he's in Cali, so yeah I feel you on the closeness thing. I'd be a wreck if anything ever happened to him, because that's my baby bro, ya know.
There was a reason you survived such a terrible crash. Use your second chance wisely.
BTW, did the wing survive? It looked like it did in one pic, but not in another one...

Patch of standing water. Car jerks to the side. Snap oversteer upon correction. 360s followed my rollovers. Alex walks away with a cut over his eye. No other bodily damage. Car is dead. Its not driver error. Its just one of those situations where you are going streight at legal speed and bad **** happens. Alex is a good driver. He has high performanc edriving experience under his belt. If anyone cold have done anything in that situation he would have but its just one of those things where you hang on and hope for the best while the car goes out of control.
Looking at the pics, I can't see how he was just driving straight down the road going the speed limit. There's just no way.
Where in NY did this happen if you don't mind me asking? I see the 845 area code on the pickup truck.
I'm glad he's not hurt, but I must say that a lot of wrecks occur because people think they're great drivers when in reality they are not. You see this frequently on road courses during driving schools and events. Often times the people who go off and crash are the ones who are know-it-alls with major attitude problems. I'm just curious, how old is your brother?

How could u say this couldn't happen going in a straight line going the speed limit. If i am correct, there was something said about still water on the road, and if he hydroplaned, he could have spun out. you dont have to be on a turn or go really fast to hydroplane. I can say this from personal experience when i was in the car with my pops going 30 in a 30 and we spun out due to hydroplaning. it is a scary experience and if u dont correct it, your s h i t out of luck!
