My brother had the unfortunate accident last night due to slippery ice and avoiding the accidents in front of him. He is alright thankfully, the car is borerline savable. Will know in a few days and update back here
It was scary in a few ways
- It happened only 1 km away from my accident back in 2005 (between Hwy 24 and Hwy 8 on 401)
- He spun around twice at high speed and came out safe
- He saw the headlight towards him (from the car who spun around in front of him)...
- Winter tires do not work on a sheet of ice, nothing works as there is NO traction! ABS, Traction Control, 4WD
- Police closed off the 401 after the accident and called in the salt truck to spray before re-opening
- 401 was all good from Mississauga until KW region, where snow and ice loved us so much...
Meanwhile, he gets a Buick Lucenere from State Farm/Enterprise insurance claim. I must say it has a beautiful elegant exterior, but below average interior and finish for a Premium Luxury Car
