“My husband and I when returning home from a visit to relatives in taylorsville, utah. It had been snowing but had stopped or slowed down in taylorsville. Since we were driving an escape hybrid 4-wd, we believed we would be fine to begin our trip. We were driving on interstate 15 when it started snowing really hard. We were just past the provo area. There were many cars and big trucks on the freeway and everyone was driving as slow as possible. We were driving in the slow lane when suddenly the car started to slide into the inside lane. …”
