Wasn't going but 30-40 when it started sliding, so probably a little slower when I finally hit. No other cars hit me, but two cars got in a wreck about 10 cars back when everyone started hitting the brakes to dodge me and someone slid on the same ice patch. Nothing happened to me, which is good. The front bumper is pretty much toast though, and there was some fluid on the ground when the tow truck took it off, so not sure what insurance will say about it.
I'll try to get some better pics monday when I go to pick up a few things out of it. I was still shaky when I took these, both from the wreck and the fact that I was standing in cold wind without a jacket.

Glad you are OK kid....not use to ice down there I bet....cars can always be replaced, just be thankful for a good outcome...they will probably total the car...seems to be the going insurance thing here lately....
