Looks like you were going pretty fast. Good thing you gained control of the car quick and there was no major damages.

Going a little to fast, maybe not for you, but for reacting to the other non driving idiots. But great reaction no the less, nice save, got real lucky that semi didn' t make you a hood emblem...lol

I had some one pass me sideways in a snow storm once, thank god(and mitsu) for awd, didnt end well for him.

glad your safe, that's all that matters. the car can be replaced.

what bothers me was the lack of hazard signals at the trailing edge of the stopped traffic... I didn't see any until after that truck blasted through on your right...

scary....

there is a left lane for slow moving cars. you might want to stay in it next time. a few extra minutes is worth more then your life or someone else's.
LoL left lane is for fast moving cars not slow moving cars.

Looks like everybody on that road was going a little too fast, considering the conditions on the road.

Good thing for that shoulder on the left that you were able to rally across. Glad you and the car are ok!

The Semi would've made my *** pucker slightly. LOL.

When was this. I was just driving through West Virginia last week thursday. I knew there was bad weather coming so I wanted to get a jump on the trip.

Came across the vid on Jalopnik and guessed there might be a thread on EvoM attached to it. I was right.

We don't get snow very often in OKC, but when we do...this is pretty common unfortunately.

lol, I didn't want to say anything. I'm glad you did. When lecturing others it's wise to get your facts straight, amiright?

the other car was lucky to get rear ended and smashed out of the way by another car, then the semi came through the hole it made. ******* lucky people all 'round.
