I’m so glad everyone is ok. I had super scary spinout the same way. Guy in a black sedan left lane, nothing for lights, dark and rainy. I saw him late, tried to bring the 5.0 over gently. I didn’t do it gently enough spun 90. Corrected, and ended up straight on, downshiftEd and continued on. No impact but frightening

Driver was from Las Vegas. Probably taking the back way to avoid the traffic jam at the ****** River Bridge. If you folks have a line on a cheap SuperCrew we'd appreciate it. 2wd, blown motor, high mileage, don't mattter...we just need the cab to be straight and rustfree!
Of Course Another Vegas Moron :( I apologize on behalf of the few Vegas Folks left that aren’t from CA.

Happy to hear all are ok. Vehicles can be replaced easier than loved ones.

Cresting hills into the setting sun is dangerous. Good polarized sunglasses help, as do sun visors and hat brims.

Scary time you all had and best of luck with your truck:)
I had all of the above......This time of year, it's just bad.

I got into a incident that resulted in the totaling of my first 2012 Raptor. Air bags deployed smashed the front end all of that. First insurance guy said they total pretty much every time the bags are deployed in that kind of accident. Second guy said not true doesn’t matter blah blah blah. In the end in a last ditch effort Geico did a x-ray of the truck and found a crack in the frame. Instant total.

Our impact was clear of the frame. If the ball joint hadn't broken and the tire wasn't flat, we probably could have driven it out of the ditch and driven the less than 5 miles home. Yours looks like it was worse than ours. Was everybody OK?
