Glad he's ok.
The same thing happened to me - I had just turned right onto a freeway onramp, had VDC off, and accelerated. The rear wheels started to spin and the rear end began to break loose from the pavement (I attributed it to the fact I had just left a car wash and the wheels were probably still wet). I just let off the gas a little, turned the steering wheel slightly to the left, and the car grabbed and straightened out and shot straight up the onramp. It was actually a very fun experience! But if I hadn't felt the rear end break loose, or hadn't made the corrections that I did, I would have been into a brick wall that ran up the side of the onramp...

And, likewise, I'm glad everyone's OK and that the car isn't damaged very bad.
