It was a rainy night driving i-24 towards clarksville, im in the left lane, as im going around corner towards exit 8 , a vehicle cut in front of me, to avoid a rear end collision i quickly turned my wheel to the left , as i did that 70mph the water on the road took my front vehicle up and i went down the embankment hitting trees , rocks, etc. the entire car damaged all sides. No air bags deployed. I walked away with not a pain or scratch after plummeting 15ft or so down that sloped embankment. This happened on December 10, 2021.
