Crashed my Jeep into a tree :(
We had a very slippery and muddy Sunday last week.
We were driving down a little hill, gaining little bit too much speed. After some point the Jeep started to slide to the right. At this point I lost all steering control and just tried to slow down the vehicle.
Unfortunately it was not enough to prevent the Jeep from going over the bank . And to make it even worse, a huge hole to our right appeared, where we were exactly sliding to. As soon we started to drop into the hole, I turned hard right and accelerated to prevent from rolling.
Well learned from the mistake, fortunately not the hardest way, almost rolled :/
We had our Action Cam running, here is the video.

Thanks guys. We are all fine, and the Jeep will be alright, ordered a side mirror from US. Its so expensive in AUS, around 300 Dollar. Crazy.
I guess on camera everything looks much softer. It was a very scary moment :/
But this made me love my Jeep even more, still drove like a tank after that thro all the obstacles.
