Drove past us out of control

We were driving along when, suddenly, a car drove past us out of control.

Is this sentence correct? Shouldn't be a verb before "out of control". How to write it in a different way?

Thanks!

Hi Dominik, There is a verb: drove You could say a car that was out of control drove past us, or an out-of-control car drove past us or a car drove past us that was totally out of control. All are fine.

Hi Barbara, thanks for your clarification.
Your versions are clear but mine is odd (the words order).
