had a little bit of a moment today while out with some mates. got out in one piece other than a few cuts and brusies. cant remember what happened but i'm sure someone will post what happened!

 

How did that happen? Found out yet? Shame about the car

Glad you're ok mate!

 

Mate that looks awful! I hope you and any passengers are ok!
Looks like you'll be getting a new car for the new year. As long as everyone is ok thats the main thing.

This happened today

 

Blimey hope you are ok,just what you want at christmas

 

That looks like you were actually quite lucky. The roof held up well but that big tree looks awfully close I wouldn't want to hit something like that with the roof of a car.

 

Crap!!

You were very lucky to walk away from that one mate!!! Glad you're ok.

Not a nice thing to happen over Xmas.

Good luck getting the insurance sorted.

thanks guys, i was on my own which i'm glad about. it happens.

 

I can give you an idea of what happened from the marks on the road... You were very lucky; especially considering the proximity of the tree.

mate, im not sure what happened but if they are using the same salt on the roads over in Kiddy as they are in worcester I can easily see how it happened

the roads round here are a nightmare. sorry to see the car look like that after, it was starting to look really good as well

 

sidhead was following so he'll tell u all what went on!

 

where was the accident si? looks familiar is all.

glad your in one piece mate

Jamo

 

That road looks familiar.....not Bobbington/Claverley way??


Guess a bit of sideways tankslapping action on exiting a bend??...either way, you was on the wrong side of the road at some stage before going in the ditch and flipping onto the roof

 

Oops! Glad you're OK.

 

The main thing is your here to tell the story, you can always replace the car...Glad to hear you are OK.

 

Absolutely gutted for you mate,glad everyones ok. The old boy on the right looks a bit dazed though! Did someone say it was in worcs/kiddy area? I went for a drive earlier and lost it on a left hander on the way from kiddy to worcester I dont think the road has been gritted for a while!

 

I'll try to explain what happened.

That road is VERY grooved from trucks. It was also very slippy. We had just overtaken a couple of cars who were doing 40, and as I went to come back onto my side of the road i commented to my passenger that i was fighting the wheel to get off that side of the road. Had to ease off and gently edge it back over.

A little further down the road Si popped out past a people carrier which was travelling quite slow and as he came back to his side of the road the back must have begun to slip. He snaked around a bit for about 200yrds till the corner thats just behind the last of Si's pics. As he rounded that he got too much onto the mud, it sent him back to the other side of the road and into the bushes. He entered the bushes at an estimated 25-30. They compacted up and launched him up in the air just before the tree. The car turned on its end and landed on the roof.

He was a bit dazed bit just a bit of blood from the glass. Other than that we were very pleased to see his arm come out and wave he was ok!!!

 

Road was the B4035 IIRC.

 

Gutted, but as already said, glad you're ok mate.....

 

 

That looks like a bad crash but glad you are OK and no-one else was hurt!

Ben

 

Glanced the only tree for about 1 mile in each direction on that side LOL. He was very lucky the bush slowed him (although it flipped him) before he hit that tree!!

 

Bit of claret on the airbag Glad no-one was seriously hurt.

 

Glass exploded over his head and arm!! Soon mopped up!

 

ouch! how quick?

 

I was doing about 70 and gaining when he started snaking, so an amount less! Certainly not speeding when it occured. (good job it didnt happen 30 mins earlier )

 

Glad u ok. Is that guy in the stripy hat a bloke called Ricco ???

 

Sure is

 

Thats bad m8 glad you re ok though.

 

thanks guys.i live to fight another day!!
