It's because it's a steep hill covered with ice and he/she obviously doesn't know how to navigate one. Probably a young driver because the inexperience shows...

no, no one had traction on that thing (I saw the clip too). The telling sign was when the subaru was sliding sideways. At that angle you have all the traction you will ever get (and it's a SUBARU) and it only kept accelerating. Notice the fire truck didn't touch it.

Also, I was down in Portland on business, in a hotel up near US 30. the RX-8 stayed in the hotel garage until it all melted, then crept over the newly laid beachfront that ODOT put down. I did, however, have to drive a cargo van around with nothing in it. That was exciting.
