Harry Sachs Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 On the way to work 30 mins ago, I came off the motorway onto a bendy sliproad. Touched the brakes, next thing I know I slide 90degrees to the left, then sharply to the right. Next thing I know I've taken out 8 posts on the side of the road, one of them cams through the windscreen, shattering it all over me and my passenger. Got the biggest fright of my life when the airbag discharged. I'm now sitting at the side of the sliproad, soaked in blood, my neck killing me and to make matters worse I've got rain pi5sing in the windscreen. I'll see if I can get a pic once we get moved.

Animal Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Ouch, hope you're both okay. I presume it's raining up there, too. First time in a while we've had rain here and the roads are proper greasy. I had a few twitches this morning on light throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Sachs Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Good news guys, it wasn't the soop, but the company van. The lane I was travel in was very greasy. On route to hospital, I thought I'd post as we weren't allowed to leave till the van had been moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Glad to hear your okay and glad it was in the company van rather than the Supe. Might have been even worse if it was in the Supe, greasy roads & wide tyres don't mix well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 The forthcoming rain will make for a few interesting threads on here. Sorry to hear of your incident, hope you haven't got blood in the keypad, that would be terrible for one with your priorities, I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j80leo Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Sorry to hear this. Try going to hospital and post on the forum later, it's a case of priorities..... you weren't in the Supe were you?? H. I was thinking the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Sachs Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Just out the hospital, few X-rays on me neck and arm. I can now say, being on a stretcher and in desperate need for a slash is one of the worst experiences ever. I've text Geo the pics, if I'm home before he posts them I'll upload them tonight. Feeling a little lucky, as if I had been driving a van or car with a longer bonnet I'd probably have been taken out by one of the posts. There goes my pay rise!!!
