I think it was a snowbank/ditch. He was showing off for his lady friends and blew a donut and then hit the snowbank. He claims he wasnt showing off or blowing... donuts for the ladies!

Wow lots of crazy stories going around here, I know I wasn't that drunk at the meet.

I was doing 25 on a straight section of road in a blizzard in 2wd (had just come off the highway, tested the traction once I got on the road and it was good so figured no need to waste gas). Little ways down the road she just went, didn't accelerate or brake and I was going perfectly straight, just had no traction. Back end kicked out to the right, correcting did nothing, last I remember the truck was sideways. According to my friends who were in the truck we spun completely backwards before hitting the snowbank, truck flipped over, bounced off the roof, continued flipping and landed on the wheels embedded in a 4 foot snowbank. I whacked my head off the roof when it was upside down which is probably why my memory of the crash is just in a few flashes.
