she probably fell a sleep on the road for a second.
Looks like it was a hydroplane to me. Suddenly kicked up water just before she swerved but then again it doesn't look like there was water on the road.
Maybe she braked hard?
Looked like somebody pulled the handbrake.
The red car in front of her moved over at the very last second to avoid the stopped black car on the road, and since the red car was obstructing her view, she had very little time to react and chose to slam on the brakes. Not having ABS, fixating on the driver in front of her, and driver inexperience makes this happen all too often.

My dad disabled the ABS in my car just to make me actually learn to brake. Not just slam the break and hope.

It's tire smoke from locking up the wheels on dry asphalt without ABS.
I think she panicked, slammed the brakes and pulled the handbrake at the same time.
A car just does not have that much brake power on the rear wheels even when locking them up with the regular foot brakes. Roughly 70% of the brake power is at the front wheels because the weight shifts forwards onto the front wheels when braking causing them to have way more traction than normal but also making the rear wheels lose traction which is why they don't need that much power to stop compared to the front wheels, and you always want to not lock up the wheels so the rear wheels by default have much less braking power than the front wheels so they have less chance of locking up.
What caused her to spin out must be that she pulled the handbrake as she was panicking.

My friend also claims to use the e-brake to "stop faster". Jesus. -______-
