He also provided information about the incident, which he claimed was caused by hydroplaning on a slippery motorway. About 40 minutes outside of Palm Desert, he said, “I was going east on the I-10.” Road was slick. I hit what felt like a patch of ice.
From there, he described a frightening spinout across lanes, culminating in a crash that deployed his car’s airbags and possibly caused the broken ribs.
