What owners wrote

I was traveling west on 64 on 8\13\15 . There was a considerable amount of traffic but I was experiencing no problems until my car begin to swerve back and forth and I was unable to maintain the lane. We realized that we must get the car off the road and into the median to avoid being struck or striking a car in the right lane. After much effort we were able to do so but hit the guard cables which resulted in totaling our lincoln.
