That is what my son said. (he was wiuth me) He was all like "damn I thought you were going to flip it."
Then driving home that night he said "Dad, I am going ot sleep, I don't want to wake up in a ditch". he thinks he is funny.

What happened? It looks like you are playing a GameBoy in the picture, which might account for the loss of control.

No, in that case you definitely wouldn't have been able to see the car from the road. It would be in the top of one of those trees.

It has been raining, and the exit was wet. It is right a the bottom of the ramp where you start to accelerate to merge with traffic.
I felt it get a little light, but I couldn't even get out of the throttle or get into it more, it just flipped around and we backed off the freeway. It was all mud so the brakes were useless. We stopped when we hit the puddle at the bottom.
From the loks of it, we were not the first ones there, therea re tracks from about 3 other times cars went off right there.
My father lives about 10 minutes from where I went off and he came with the 1990 ford F 350 4x4 Dully wiht the turbo Deisel V8 and pulled me out using 4 sections of of 20' chain.

LOL
My son never got out of the truck. He is 16 and has his permit, so I thought I could push the truck while he drove. It was stuck and I only tried once to push it.

There's one for the rule books...
If you are driving on your learner's permit, is it legal to be behind the wheel if the person pushing the car out of the ditch is a legal licensed driver?

Well, since he was off road, maybe that doesn't count.
