[QUOTE="AlaskaWing, post: 87272, member: 2126"] So he did not have to spend the night in the hospital. But they may bring him back in for some rock-removal surgery on his knee. He said that he does not know what happened. He is sure he did not brake, but the brake locked up. He was changing lanes as we were going into an easy highway corner, and had not noticed the corner. His emergency blinker came on when he tried to signal, so he looked down and was trying to figure out how to turn it off, looked up, was surprised by the corner and tried to slow down (big no-no). His back brake locked up, but he does not think that he grabbed the brake, and he lost control. Looking at the skid marks I think that he may have laid it down on the shoulder just before he left the road. (hence the road rash). And he definitely locked the brake for about 15-20 feet just before that. There was the beginning of a guard rail aligned with his skid, but he missed it by a few feet (thank god!) [/QUOTE]
