"Then he hit the brakes when he realized he was out of control. Fatal mistake. Not that he was going to bring it back anyway, but he might of had a chance if he hadn’t hit the brake."

I doubt a street legal race car like that has ABS. So yes, pouncing on the brake is the last thing to do if your brakes can lock up. However, if not for his DUI, he may have known to back off the gas and slowly pump the brakes while turning INTO the skid. He is dumbass for even owning such a car. What a waste. Glad no one was hurt.

Looks to me that he had already lost control before veering left at the intersection and he was overcorrecting from overcorrecting.

The front and back in front rear suspension consists of double wishbones with inboard spring-and-damper units, dual frontal airbags, door-mounted side airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS),and a patented crumple-zone body structure.
