Echoing everyone else, glad you're ok.

I had a close call the other night that could have ended up like your situation. Somebody in the lane next to me (in a civic) wasn't paying attention and got all sideways right in front of me. Traffic was moving very slowly, so speed wasn't a factor... just a patch of slick road, I guess. I had a choice at that point: eat curb or t-bone him. I picked the curb, but thankfully avoided both. Still, my heart skipped a beat.

Lesson re-learned: even when you're doing everything you can to be as safe as possible, you can still get screwed by someone else.
