Accident On The Way To Work

I was going down I270 northbound in Columbus yesterday morning. It was raining pretty good and I was just passing the construction zone under 161 by Easton when a girl in a red cavalier passed me. I was only going 50-55, she had to of been going at least 60-65. She got about I want to say 4-5 car lengths ahead of me in the far left lane when she started to swerve and lost control of her can and flew to the right across 4 lanes into a concrete wall. I slam on my brakes and go over and stop right in front of her car that was now in the breakdown lane facing traffic. She had spun around and hit the front drivers side into the wall. Luckily there was no other traffic by us and if I was going a little faster she would of hit me. Anyways I jump out and run up to her car while a lady in a jeep stops behind us and also runs us. She gets the girl out of the car as I called 911. We got her into her jeep and waited for the paramedics. The cavalier was done, air bags went off and the front wheel wasn’t where it was supposed to be. I was afraid when I got out I saw a lot of smoke coming out of her hood. She was taken off in an ambulance she was hold her leg, I gave my statement and went off to work soaking wet and an hour late but they didn’t care. Hope the girl was all right.

Man, having drove that a ton, I know how bad that area is. Actually I dunno WTF people are thinking when they go flying through there, I got 10mph slower then it says to. Like just because Im a big truck an dont really wanna get pushed over by someone etc. Its totally insane. And its been like that forever.

Glad to hear shes ok and u did the right thing.
