Everyone's probably better off that the Flex hit the Audi and made a space for that 18 wheeler.

If that collision hadn't cleared out a lane, the semi would've destroyed a couple cars.

He was speeding like an idiot but at least had the good sense to not slam on the brakes and hockey puck into stopped traffic. Actually rewatching thevideo, it does look like he locked up a bit.

Going too fast for conditions aside... Why the hell were all of those people stopped in the MIDDLE of the freeway in near whiteout conditions??? And then on top of that, they didn't even have their hazards on.

If you're going to stop because you can't see in front of you, people coming up on you aren't going to be able to see YOU... pull off to the side.

Evo is the epitomy of idiocy. Jackass is going WAYYYYY too fast in downright horrid conditions (coated road, plus damn near whiteout) on SUMMER TIRES. WTF did he expect? He is lucky Darwin stepped out for a cup of hot cocoa. Idiot.
