What owners wrote

Driving down highway 64 east mile marker 261... Driving down the road in 03 hummer h2 and was cut off. My speed was 70, their speed was 55. Slammed on brakes and attempted to drive around person that cut me off. When I hit the brakes went into a skid (I think I lost my steering on the right front tire, still skid marks on road). Held the skid for 600 feet(?) at which point I lost control.
