| Description of the problem | While driving on snowpacked dirt roads to town, i reached a straightaway where, unknown to me, ice had formed over the snow. Driving straight at 30-35 mph, the back end suddenly began to track to the right. I turned the steering wheel to the right and pressed the gas pedal to correct, but this had no effect. I was unable to regain control, and the vehicle slid into the ditch, resulting in damage to the vehicle and minor injury to myself. |
