Yea, I was up in Scranton this weekend and the same thing almost happened... I just pulled my e-brake and turned side ways... Sometimes I find that stops faster... Especially if your like me and have bad brakes. Where did this happen to you? Mine was right off the River Street exit.
The problem with the e brake is that it completely destroys any bit of control you will have of your cars steering if you spin at all..

Never hit a deer... but last year i was on icy back roads near warren, and came down a sloped turn, going around 40, and i thought i could control my car as it slid, but it did a complete 180, grazed the guide rail over a tiny bridge (only touched the driverside taillight, shattered it) and i ended up sideways stuck in a snowbank of the other side of the road... luckily some snomobilers were riding by, and they stopped to help push my car which didnt work, and gave me a ride to me girlfriends house where we pulled it out with her dads truck..

suprisingly my mom actually cared that i was okay and wasnt mad about the car, but my dad on the other hand was a ****, never asked if i was alright, and got pissed how the light cost so much... for a 96 chrysler sebring..
****.
