What's wrong with that? Surely you can skid without crashing?

There was no crash to slid into. She used "crash" as an object rather
than an action.

She DE-gerunded it? How crass!


Don't get me started on "over turned vehicle". Is over turning the same
thing as over steering??? Your turn a vehicle, can you under turn a
vehicle?

No, you steer a vehicle, and have understeer and oversteer.
You overturn (aka: FLIP) Beemers, Exploders, and other SUVs.


So you would be clueless if I mentioned that there was a wreck where a
vehicle turned over?

The engine turns over each times it is started, sir. Learn your
terminology, will ya?


Over turned... over is used ad an adverb. Turned over, over is the
location. I am not buying it.

I agree. "Went tits-up." is much more definitive, but just _try_ to
get a nun to teach that to her class. I dare you.
