One person was taken to the hospital and witnesses say it all happened in a matter of seconds.
"There was a car coming," said C.J. Jenny. "By the time I hit my brakes, she was already sliding, so I hit my brakes more. She was already sliding. It's hard to explain, but she bounced. I'm surprised she didn't flip."
The westbound lanes of the Parkway and the ramp to Ridge Road were closed briefly.
The condition of the person who was taken to the hospital is unknown at this time.
