I was going on 70 miles per hour and was very lucky that there was only few cars on the road I was able to steer it to the shoulder . After coming out of the car I see lot of smoke and lots of oil coming out of the engine . And I saw there was a trail of oil behind the car. We were stuck on tpk for 4 hour in cold before any help could arrive . …”
