Lack of skid marks suggest ABS. ABS can do really wierd things when the car is sideways... they are only really designed to work in a straight line.

The Porsche Cup race cars had ABS until a few years ago. The crashes on the race track with those cars were scarey. Out of controll cars would dart off in all sorts of unpredicatble directions rather than skidding in a straight line.
