Yup, I got lucky, but I was in a rollover with my Buick. It happened on Friday morning going in to work; I was departing home merging on to the Highway as I've done thousands of times past but this time the entire road was black iced. Thank god I had experience with crazy driving (Boats ATVs and yes Cars I've done some things that made me loose control) because the moment I got off the on-ramp I knew the problem.

Because of my approach the car never leveled out, it kept wanting to pull to the left. I tried to steady it out and hope that by crossing from right to left (two lane highway) it would give the time needed to get some traction. The danger most people would have made is over correcting their turns and completely spinning out of control. Instead I simply let it continue doing what it wanted to already do, and the Buick slid right off and into the ditch.

The Buick is a little top heavy due to its narrow wheel base, so when it leaned off the road gravity pulled it onto its side and it rested upside down. It also somehow spun 180 so that the front was facing the opposite direction. For me it was all a gradual spin and I simply had to pad around for my phone and report the incident. About a dozen people came running to check me out and make sure I was okay, I had to wave everyone off as I was talking to the Sheriff.

The entire incident happened in a few seconds, and I was stuck looking at the on-ramp where it started only a city block's distance away. I came out of it without a scratch, the Buick was in pretty good shape too. I'm planning to go in later today to officially check it out but at the time I didn't notice any frame damage or glass damage, just a little plastic bent out of shape.
