skidded
Slid on ice
Skidded is the past tense of skid—to slide sideways or forward in an uncontrolled way, typically when traction fails.
Vehicles skid on ice or wet pavement: The car skidded off the road.
People skid too: He skidded across the wet floor.
Figuratively, things can skid out of control or skid to a halt.
