Crash Bang Wallop... What an accident

[jedi-knight83 0]

Well... The beast is dead.

 

 

 

And i walked away with a cut on my face and a headache and some bruising.

 

Im coming down the hill and as i get to the junction and a black BMW pulls accross in front of me... no problem there is enough room. i just brake gently to give him space... as he clears the road i let off the brake... but then suddenly the silver mazda 626 pulls out leaving me ZERO time.... i cant even remember if i braked again or not... SMACK into his front end spinning him 180. All my airbags go off and i start to spin anti clockwise heading for a field but i look out my drivers window and see a transit van coming the other way skidding to avoid me... BANG i hit that spinning me the other way (but stoping my path of certain barrel rolling in the field) and leave me facing the way i came.

 

Horn and all kinds or warning beeps going off in my car, im a bit dazed. open the door. walk to the verge. lay down.

 

I reckon the impact speed was 50-60mph and it was so lucky i didnt hit the mazda side on... would have been much worse for me and him.

 

MAzda driver was apologetic.. says he didnt see me (he was looking the the black bmw turning into his road and waiting for him to clear his path so he could turn out). Transit driver hurt his knee.

 

Amazing everyone was ok!!!

 

i was on my way home from go karting (we came second by the way ;) ) and my helmet in the boot ended up in the field (will have to claim for that aswell)...... maybe i should have been wearing it though :roll:

 

Be carefull kids!! I was lucky.... VERY LUCKY!

Damn dude... gutted for you! Hope you recover quickly and have a quick payout from the ins group :?

 

Edit: They say that dusk is the worst time of the day to drive as headlights although being on don't necessarily catch the eye...

 

Just had a good look at the pics - looks bad, loads of debris on the road... glad you're OK

glad everyone came out reletivly ok.

[g60greeny 0]

[jedi-knight83 0]

now watchin the for sale section for s3 leather interior

 

 

well it wont include the front seats because the airbags in those went off. also the glass probably damaged the rear seats. Im not really sure how it all works. i doubt i'll get any bits from the car back. and even if i did... i dont think anything of value is salvageable. wheels bent, seats trashed, engine broken etc etc.

[Supercharged 2]

Jeez - glad you ok mate as looking at the photos It did look like a big smash!

 

The Mazda bloke should be done for driving without due care - doesn't look like there is a problem with visability out that junction!

[g60greeny 0]

gutted mate,at least all the saftey devices worked!!lets hope you get paid out full wack!

[Walesy 0]

lets hope you get paid out full wack!

 

 

deffo man.

[daves16v 1]

Nobody will be buying it now.

 

Just glad you're ok.

Holy cow!

That's a big 'un!

At least those crumple zones and air bags did their thing. Thank god you weren't in the Corrado for that accident, mate, seriously, that would have been bad news.

[Jim 2]

Holy sheite Nathan! The main thing is you walked away from it ok.. can't believe its trashed though mate :(

 

In a vaguely tongue in cheek, trying to look at it in a semi-positive light sort of way, at least you aint gotta worry about trying to sell it anymore!

[g60greeny 0]

corradowales....he may be lookin out for a rado now mate :thumbleft:

[dub envy 0]

Jesus!!

 

That makes all my previous smashes look lame in comparison...

 

Glad everyone is ok!

[sciroccotune 0]

DUDE!!! so glad all is well, just shows how easy it can be!!! warning to all (well at least me!)

 

good luck with coming car insurance issues

:)

[jedi-knight83 0]

thanks guys. yes... maybe all slow down just a little... i mean this one i was actually being good and driving well and within the law.... but i have been know to drive fast... not sure if i will be again for a while though.

 

Yes jim i dont need to sell it now... but i need to worry about getting enough money from the insurance company!

 

and the thing that REALLY annoys me.... my brand new helmet that was in the boot after go karting.......flew out the boot and smashed down on the road during all the impact!!! so i have to get another one of those now!

[ben16v 0]

all the best on the repairs...(to you, not the car :roll:)
