Looks like mine, I love itA couple weeks ago we had our first and only snow event this year and I was driving home on I90 in the left lane with other traffic when this guy in a Honda Odyssey blows past in the right lane doing at least 20 mph faster than everyone else. The snow is coming down and there are slushy patches on the road but they are relatively clear but the temp is about 35F.
I go around a long bend and can just see something happening up ahead. The guy lost control and came spinning across the highway and I think he bounced off one of the guard rails. He manages to come to a stop (I think) in the middle lane facing me at a 45 degree angle and as I'm slowing I'm thinking I'll manage to get by him as there is no way to stop in time. The dufus then decides it is a good idea to try and attempt to turn around to go forward by driving into my lane and right into me. Turned this into my first ever air bag deployment incident with the steering wheel, knee, and right side curtain bags deploying and destroying my right front corner.
Not only was this guy driving in an unsafe manner in a snow storm but as it turns out he had no insurance (illegal in WA) and he was driving on a suspended license and had enough of an alcohol smell on his breath that I could smell it from a few feet away. For some reason the trooper let him go, she did say she ticketed him for the lack of insurance at least.
Luckily I ended up with just one little scratch. My insurance company ended up totaling it (damage was worse than it looks in the pic) and I didn't even know that they would replace if less than one year old as part of my general collision policy so no depreciation or additional tax & tags. I'm bummed I couldn't find any left over Eruption Green Hybrid Lariat's anywhere so ended up driving to a dealer 250 miles away and picked up a '26 Velocity Blue one as I couldn't find anything I liked closer!
Stopping for a little lunch before my 250 mile trip back home from the dealer.
