Nismo Accident Pics -- Very Sad

so you turned off VDC and were driving down a strait road and the back end got away from you on dry pavement?

That looks like a highway access road -- perhaps I35 near Austin, TX. Perhaps the spin happened after a right or left turn onto the access road. So he could have been turning onto the access road at the speed limit, then goosed it to get up to the access road speed of 50 mph. No VDC and perhaps a spot of wet pavement near the intersection could easily cause a spin if you slam the pedal to get to 50 from 25 in second gear.

Since he said his right rear tire hit the curb, I'm guessing this happened after a left turn onto the access road? Am I getting warm?
