My first vehicle was an 89 s10. It had an extended bed and sweet flood lightd and even a sun roof!

My first time driving back from college. It was around a 3 and half hour drive home. It was early october and on a really twisty country road.

It was raining reallt hard. I thoughy I hyrdoplained once and recovered. Around a mile later, going down a bend on a hillside, my truck starts fishtailing.

I lay off the gas and breaks and start counter steering. Evertime i centered, it would slide out again. Bank to the right was slight drop off into the woods. Left was a guard rail with a drop into a steep hill down into a creek bottom.

I lost enough speed and I commited to the woods, but my truck ended up completely sideways across both lanes of traffic. Thankfully, nothing was coming and I got the truck straight and into a nearby driveway.

The rear driver side tire had blown out. My only spinout and it was horrifying even though I was going 40 or so at the time.
