I think ghost's description is most accurate. We get a lot of rain here, oil gets wet and makes the road slick and wet leaves get on the road. It's happened to me a lot when making turns.
You really do end up steering 'the wrong way' but you do end up regaining control.
Steering back the direction you want to go can make your car flip.
Of course the biggest rule is take the foot off the gas and *do not!* step on the brake.
