Default Can't believe that just happened

So it just rained and it was sprinkling a little I was on top of the bridge where the metal grid is. My back tires started to give out and started swaying back and forth I tried to correct it by steering and breaking a little bit but it put my car into a spin. I spun about 1 and a half times. While I was spinning i look out my driver side window and I see headlights. I knew what was coming next... I spun into oncoming traffic and slammed into the front of his car. I don't know what would have happened if he was not there tho because I was still spinning and if he was not there I would have hit the side rail of the bridge and I pray that it would have held up cause it was a long way down. Me and the other driver are ok thankfully.

Sucks man. The bridges in Chicago are the same way when they are wet. Cold metal bridges that are wet from rain is like driving on ice. Glad you're ok.

Sad. Glad you're ok.
She's probably a goner. It looks like it would take a big pull to get it straight again. Sorry.

Sorry to hear that man. She is a beauty.

The main thing, like Everyone said, is that no one got hurt. You can always replace a car, but not a person...

That sucks but at least everyone is OK. That wall round the bridge didn't really look like it would hold you as much as it would have launched your car. The thankful you are alright, cars can be replaced.
