Default Almost got into a crash on the way back from BOS

Now I can say that I love the brake system in my 350. But another 2IS got hit pretty bad.. I'll upload a pic in a bit.

I was on 99 heading home(Sacramento) it's a 2 lanes highway, a blue IS250 is on my right(slow lane) I'm on the fast lane behind an expedition at 75mph either the driver of the expedition fall asleep or texting.. The dude went off the highway n out of control then into the back quarter panel of the blue 250, the 250 went out of control and did a 360 from the slow lane to my lane head on. I was like "ohh ****k!!!", 4 passengers in my car woke up and yelled "wtf. stopp...Stoppp!!" I didn't hit anyone but while the expedition went off the highway that **** kickk hella rocks on my car hopefully it won't give anymore damage to my bumper...

Damn dude, glad you're safe and made it out with minimal damage. Was the blue IS a CL member?
