Although I have no knowledge of that crash. I will say nearly all crashes I have seen, investigated or assisted with in bad weather are due to driving to fast for the conditions and then using the brakes. As the vehicle starts sliding most stand on the brake instead of releasing it. That only results in a crash. Sometimes minor steering or slowing without braking will prevent the crash. That will work if your traveling at a safe speed and not following to close.

Unless you practice or continue to remind yourself brakes are not your friend in all situations you will also stand on the brakes and just go where the vehicle takes you without any control.
