If I lost my brakes on a downslope I would turn my wheel sharp and try to hit the fence or go off the road. I am 100% confident that I would instinctively do so even in a panic situation. Why would he not have done the same?
Perhaps because there were pedestrians, houses, other vehicles, etc. on and along the road--or so the articles seem to imply.
I don't know that I would instinctively do anything other than try to steer for what looks clear. I'd hope I'd be clear-headed enough to at least downshift...and maybe the driver here did that. It's really hard to fault people for doing anything even remotely reasonable in a sudden, unexpected panic sort of situation, even if in the cool considered aftermath some other course of action may seem better. It takes a whole lot of nerve to steer any vehicle into an obstruction.
