dinkus 10 Posted October 19, 2005 It's tricky to make out who was who from that report, but it sounds like there was a car that hit the central reservation, caught fire and the passenger was killed. That sounds most likely to be the Corrado, as the car in the pic has steel wheels and doesn't look burnt out, just heavily mangled - the caption also says something about the second accident. Horrible stuff, either way though :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted October 19, 2005 bloody hope not horrible when things like that happen even if you dont know them you have some common ground, one of my work colleuges was run over a few weeks ago attended his funeral still in shock by it all.

Bally 0 Posted October 19, 2005 the picture doesnt show the corrado involved I saw that on the TV lastnight.. that pic shows the accident afterwards.. I heard that the corrado hit the centre reservation & caught fire.. been lookng on the net cant see any pics etc.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 19, 2005 Are you sure it was that car Bally? Thats a bit of a shocker if it was.. :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Yeah Im sure... me & bro both remeber the car from E38.. the footage from the news lastnight showed car recovered, all the front end was burnt out.. the rims were the KT4 17's with black centres same colour etc.. Ive PM'd the guy on E38 see if he comes back to me... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 19, 2005 Jebus. Fingers crossed he was ok. It doesn't sound good though :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Feck, I remember that car at E38... :| Not nice to hear about.... :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdubs 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Aye it doesnt look good, not being funny Bal but I woud not try contacting the guy at the moment as he most probably is still in hospital if it was him and it would be a m8 of his who has died and I would not want to talk about it just yet... Both Guys were from Slough and the guy selling that car was from nr Heathrow (thus Slough area) also it mentions that they were both 21 and the guy selling the car was 20/21.

Claret Badger 0 Posted October 20, 2005 Blackcat - I think you'll find the Clio looks a real mess due to the firecrews using the jaws of life on the "french bean can". not to say it wouldn't have been mangled in the first place due to the nastiness of the RTA - but the JoL do make the wreckage look even more dramatic hth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
