6 years ago I was driving from NYC home on 684, a 3-lane highway. It was snowing hard, but at least wet. I was driving my 88 900Turbo with summer RE71's, awesome tires on dry/wet, worthless in snow. Everyone was doing 35.
A Uhaul 14 ft. box truck came up fast "pushing" cars out of the way in the center lane. came up to me, tried to get in the left lane, but there was no where go, and for some reason he dropped back.
a few minutes later I see him in the breakdown lane charging fast, he swerves into traffic upon seeing an underpass coming up where the breakdown lanes ends, he cuts off to cars and a big suburban next to me that brakes very hard and the Uhaul keeps coming at me!
I squirt ahead the little bit I can when his left front wheel hits just ahead of my right rear wheel.
The very hand of God held my car in place, he bounced off of it and as I looked in my rearview mirror, I see him flipping multiple times ending up in a huge spray of snow on the side of the road.
NO ONE ELSE CRASHED!!!!
I saw on the news later that night that the driver was killed.
