I have a 2016 sport model 6 speed. I don't have too much tread left on my rear tires right now so it's pretty easy to spin the tires and my vdc light comes on all the time when I'm barely pressing the throttle. Back when the tires were newer I only had the traction control light come on when it sensed the tires spinning but now I get both lights and the vdc light will stay on until I restart the car. So I'm wondering what kinda shape your rear tires are in as this may have played a roll in you experiencing excessive wheel spin. I'm thinking that maybe your tires are getting bald, and when you broke traction at the top of 2nd gear and the vdc system turned itself off like mine does and wasn't able to correct the wheel spin which caused you to lose control.

Maybe someone else can chime in on this because I'm not sure if this is a common issue. It could just be my particular car...

Also, 50mph in second gear is pretty high in the rpms. From what I've put together about your accident, it sounds like you may have been driving aggressively and simply lost control of your car.
