Consumer Description

I WAS CHANGING LANES TO PASS A TRUCK. AS I COMPLETED THE LANE CHANGE, THE BACK END CONTINUED TO SLIDE. I STARTED TO SWERVE LEFT AND RIGHT IN MY LANE. AS I PASSED THE TRUCK, MY VEHICLE CROSSED OVER THE RIGHT LANE AND HIT THE RIGHT THE GUARDRAIL. I BELIEVE I HIT THE RIGHT REAR OF MY VEHICLE TWICE ON THE GUARDRAIL. MY VEHICLE THEN TURNED APPROXIMATELY 90 DEGREES COUNTER-CLOCKWISE AND HEADED STRAIGHT INTO THE CONCRETE CENTER DIVIDER. MY VEHICLE BOUNCED OFF THE WALL AND ENDED UP MOSTLY IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE FACING THE TRAFFIC THAT WAS BEHIND ME. NO AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE IS CLASSIFIED AS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.*AK
