“We were driving our mercedes gle 350 on I 80 near mile marker 203.1, ohio on 7/11/2020 at 7 am. It was raining a bit in morning. The lane departure assist was on, and it was turning green and gray continuously. I keep lane assist on all the time for safety purpose. I was driving on the slow lane on right most lane at approximately 60 miles. Suddenly the vehicle lost control and started slipping on the road. I tried to control it, however it would not come under control. Finally the car drifted all the way to the left most lane, and rammed into the concrete divider on driver side. …”
