“My daughter was driving south on interstate 95 (md) in the far left lane (fast lane) when her 2013 Toyota Corolla went out of control and went into a 180 degree clockwise spin across 3 lanes of traffic into the far right right lane (slow lane) and when she pumped her brakes the car went into a 180 degree counter clockwise spin back across 4 lanes of traffic almost getting hit by a jeep before stopping on the left shoulder facing oncoming traffic. Incident happened in rush hour traffic at 9:20am on wet roads. Yellow ABS light and traction control light was on, but not the red brake light. …”
