Sounds like she was definitly traveling to fast for the conditions. She needs to count her blessing that you reacted the way you did. We have all been on roadways with that kind of rain with ponding/standing water and vehicles traveling to fast on it. Makes you wonder what they are thinking or not. Let's see- I left Orange, Tx at 8:30am, stopped in Hammond for fuel/ lunch-- then hit Mobile at 4:30pm-- she was on her way to Work. It had been raining all day, so the "oily" slick should have been beat off already-- it was just totally bazaar--- one second she was passing just like all the other people on the road-- my slow truck, then suddenly she's doing donuts in front of me. What are the chances the lane ruts through there were still full of water??

Headborg good to hear you are OK also her life or the ditch you made the right choice in that matter. Trucks can be repaired replaced a life can not be.
