My wife took my two girls to a cousin's house. They are going to spend the night. She took them in a middle of a rain storm.
It's a pretty good trip, and with it raining it's longer. So after about an hour and a half, thunder and lighting with heavy rain still going on here at the house. I see my wife calling from her cell, to my cell. I was concerned about her, but after this much time I figured she was calling to ask me if I wanted something for lunch (late lunch).
She says in a panicked voice, clearly very stressed and fearful. "I'm hurt! I'm hurt! The car flipped and I can't get out!"
I understood that this could quite possibly be the last time I was speak to my wife. I asked her "It flipped?" She says "Yes!"
I continued asking questions, like "where are you hurt?" "Is there any blood". I received answers, her voice stressful, but speaking clearly, her neck hurt and no blood.
I asked why she couldn't get out of the car and she said the wall was in the way. I asked her again you flipped? She said yes. I said "You are up side down?" "No, I slipped!" "So the car SLID?" "Yes she responded".
"Did you lose control and spin?" "Yes".
While driving down I-10 going 50 mph she felt the back of the Mustang wiggle, she let her foot off the gas to let it slow, but the car in front of her had slowed, so she tapped the breaks, and the back end came around on her.
She smacked the wall and slid down it.

She is fine, a bit shaken (and stirred). The car wouldn't start but after getting there, seeing she was fine I remembered something about the fuel cutoff during an impact. I reset that and the engine started right up.
