Was involved in roll-over accident tonight

Friday night and we were going out of town to a cabin. Today we had our first significant amount of snow fall. It was about 8pm and our driver was going a bit fast, that being 120-130 km in a 100 zone. We were in the fast lane and we saw someone in front of us so he pulled into the slow lane. Just as that happened the person in front pulled into the slow lane. We had to brake and then we fish-tailed for a couple seconds, sprung around, and went into the ditch. Slid in the ditch for a bit and then something caught and the car flipped.
It is a strange feeling sitting and doing a head stand. Anyways, the 2000 Malibu has various body damage but the underside is all messed up, likely a write off.

One of the gal had a headache, and a guy bangedhis head and for a moment didn't know where he was. Paramedics came and said they were all ok. We all feel a bit sore in the neck, but thank God we didn't hit the cement block (sewage) that were in the ditch, 3-4 feet from the car.

thanks

yeah it has been snowing the last couple days. Road conditions are not good, and there are still people who drive like it is summer.

We did say a prayer before our journey, and yes it was unfortunate the car is in bad shape. However, thank God we did not hit the cement or anything else.
