lost steering? sounds to me like you were going too fast and couldn't make the turn, then over corrected and sent the back onto the road and into the other ditch... then needed an excuse to make it sounds like the cars fault am I right?

jk but that sucks man, hope your back is alright

were you going the speed limit? wearing your seatbelt?

I was expecting to hear a dumb story and someone gloating about jumping their car but it certainly sounds like this was a really freak accident. Must have been a hell of a ride.

Well I blacked out for most of the ride but seeing the sky through your windshield ain't too good but other than that it would have been better to watch
