Witnessed My OWN roll over before my TT225QC
My last car was a 2000 Honda S2000. Well, up until May 6 of this year anyway. I was on I-55 heading towards Chicago from St. Louis, when a semi passed me up in the left lane (two lanes going north/south on I-55). Keep in mind it was raining, all the way from St. Louis. So, when he passed me going about 70+ mph on a sharp left curve, my car lost traction in the rear end from all of the water spraying from under his trailer and his trailer clipped my front end first causing my rear end to swing back towards his trailer and get run over by the rear wheels of the trailer. At that point, my car was launched off the road and I was sliding sideways for a good 50-75 feet. Finally, the driver's side rear wheel had dug so deeply in the muddy grass that the car flipped 2x from the momentum and landed upside down, in just under a foot of sitting rain water in the ditch next to the highway. My friend and I both had our seat belts on, fortunately. Between the seat belts, and the roll bars behind the driver and passenger, we were able to walk away with scratches and bruises. Lucky and blessed? You're damn right.
