Nguyen came around a left hand curve in the roadway and due to his speed and the snowy/wet roadway conditions, his vehicle began to slide causing him to loose control and spin across the eastbound lane and down a steep embankment on the shoulder of the road. As the BMW traveled down the embankment it overturned several times until finally coming to rest at the bottom on its roof. Nguyen was able to climb out of the vehicle and up the embankment where a passing motorist stopped to assist him. Nguyen was transported by American Legion ambulance to SAH with minor cuts to his left arm as well as complaints of lower back pain.
