He clips her drivers side rear quarter panel sending the car rotating around his front bumper he then hit the Maxima again sending it across all 4 lanes of I-75 and into the lane of a fast moving pick up. The pickup hits the car and causes it to continue spinning in traffic at a high rate of speed until finally coming to a stop in the middle of I-75SB before the I-285 exit. She walked away fine with usual bumps and bruises. When she got home she told me how she remembered something I told her about what to do in an accident "when the car starts to slide look where you want to go, steer, and give it gas". She told me when the truck hit her she cut the wheel and put it to the floor to keep from going off the road into the guard rail.
Man I'm glad she's ok.
