Close Encounters (of the crash kind)

I hope I got time to write this all out. If not, I'll finish it later.

************************************************** **



I was driving my '86 Ranger 4x4 and had two other friends with me at the time. Now if you've ever driven a Ranger, you know that three friends in the front is a tight fit. I was driving to another one of my friends House. Again, this was on a country road, and like my other stories, on one side is a hill bank, the other side is a drop off. (Where I lived, most roads were like this.)
As I was turning right and was going from a concrete road to a rock road. Well, not thinking I flew around the corner. The problem was that there was rocks on the concrete. I think everyone knows what thats like. Well, the sliding wasn't that bad at first and I could easly conrtol it. My fault was when I heard Paige(female friend of mine) Scream and grab my leg, I kept making the truck spin side to side fishtailing. Well, like I said earlier, there wasn't much room in the cab, so when the truck really started fishtailing(the rear passing the front) I couldn't spin the wheel far enough to correct it. Well the rear finaly passed up the front and all I could do was hit the brakes. We came up to a halt right infront of the hill bank, front tire in a ditch. The scariest part was when the front tire dropped in the ditch it made the truck do a sudden stop and also made it come up on two tires. I was looking out the divers side window right at the ground, when it slowly setteled back on all four tires. That was the closest I've been to fliping over, I sware, if I put my arm out the window, we would have been on our side.
