So the past week has been very busy for me, and i haven't been getting enough sleep and apparently it caught up with me. Ive been to NYC all night, and to the Southampton the day after (sat. into sun.) I stayed up til' 5am and woke up at 8 to take a shower and drive back home. The road i was traveling on was a 3 lane highway with about 30 feet of grass inbetween, no guard rails or anything.
I was extremely fatigued but didn't think too much of it. I was going 70 with cruise control on in the left lane. An article i read had this to say about that
In a panic i cut the wheel back and slid back onto the highway and started to spin out. . probably did like a 360 and then changed directions and spun another 180. . . luckily no one else was around me and i came to a stop in the middle of the road.
Definitely the most irresponsible thing i've ever done in my life, another 2 seconds and i'd probably be dead. I never thought i'd be so tired to fall asleep driving. . . i learned the hard way. be careful out there
Happened exactly like this video i saw on youtube YouTube - Ferrari 348 Accident

So, I fell asleep at some point, and woke up driving on the grass with a bridge support coming up in about 200 feetA drowsy driver moving at 70 miles-per-hour will travel nearly the length of a football field if he or she falls asleep for even two and a half seconds
