Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted January 22, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2023 It's a bad do. My remote sympathy to all involved. On the brighter side me and Mrs. Fogarty are pensioners and we're okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Anyone had a bad one? I drove my old works van over a junction I had no idea was there and was hit side on and sent through a garden wall and into the first skin of brickwork of a house. Never forget the woman sat in her dressing gown eating toast as I parked next to her bay window and by bumper underneath it Touch wood never had a big motorway jobby.

Long story short was a passenger in a fiat Panda that flipped and rolled down the M1 landing on it's roof Had to crawl out through glass to safety Saw the wreck the next day at a garage, there was 5 of us in it and remarkable we all survived, was fuck all left of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted January 22, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2023 A mate of mine turned his car over coming off the m6 at Warrington. He had bad psoriasis. Police report said it looked like a giant snow globe on the hard shoulder. (exagerated a bit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in a massive shunt on the A2 heading into london at rush hour a while back. Caused tailbacks long enough to make every travel bulletin on the wireless Ive seen some horrific stuff down the years, including a pedestrian getting hit so hard by a lorry on the M6 that it decapitated him. (Think it was a him). That was a low point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athywhite1958 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I ended up in intensive care in a hospital just outside Berlin in September 2021, a car hit us at about 100 mph, we spun across the autobahn hitting the barriers a couple of times, fucking terrifying, then the Germans hounded me for almost 12 months wanting payment for the hospital treatment, the motorway closure, the disposal of our car, the fire service for clearing the autobahn, absolute nightmare and very painful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver was back home in bed when police knocked on saying car had been nicked and been wrote off near Darlington.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 23, 2023 Author Site Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2023 My parents' caravan flipped over on the undulating section of the m62. Closed it, and the hassle was on the radio bulletins. We went to the recovery yard the day after to see if anything was salvageable. Match wood remnants of the shell, clothing, crockery etc all scooped up and dumped in a big pile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a bad one that had Stalwart Phyllis and her son on board. Think it flipped on its roof on the way back from an away game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 My Aunt and Uncle got caught in a side wind on the M25 towing a Carvan, just started going side to side and he couldn't correct it, flipped the whole car over. Apparently happens quite a lot. Anyway, thankfully they were both fine. Oddest thing I saw was a car in the middle lane and then a lorry moving into said lane but hadn't seen the car. I could see what was going to happen in slow motion. The lorry clipped the car, which spun into the front of the lorry so it was now side on. The klorry was frantically breaking whilst this German family were screaming thinking they were about to go under the wheels of this truck. Anyway, its manged to stop before that happened. Thought about stopping to help, but was late for my daughter's birthday party so didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
