Default Poor Lexus

This isn't my car.

This was shown live on TV watching the news this morning while working at home snowed in.

Appears to be ES? Two ladies were in it and they were on the furthest lane on I5 near Everett. They spun out of control and went across all three lanes and lodging itself into a semi which was in the slowest lane. So serious injuries and they were rescured.

Washington State Patrol has confirmed that the driver was going too fast for the conditions.

Doesn't appear they were on winter tires when I saw this live.

I saw that on TV too. Bummer... I'm glad I didn't have to go work today.

I saw a 2IS get t-boned this morning during my commute to work. This accident spree really needs to stop!

This weather can cause these accidents but drivers have a big part in this. Luckily these ladies didn't get under the big rig more!
