Mcgoo Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 That sucks Sounds like it may have hit oil, or a damn spot.. would a locking diff cause this? Yeah, or a blow out. With the recent weather maybe a major aquaplane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Probably an aquaplane or an impromptu spinup of the back wheels, we had a large amount of rain last night. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Looks like they're already looking to the driver being at fault: "Anyone who witnessed the Besthorpe accident, or who saw the manner in which the vehicle was being driven prior to the crash, should contact..."

Class One Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Looks like they're already looking to the driver being at fault: "Anyone who witnessed the Besthorpe accident, or who saw the manner in which the vehicle was being driven prior to the crash, should contact..." Not necessarily, if the car left the road without anyother vehcile being involved to their knowledge so far, then it's normal practice to establish if there any witnesses. It's a road fatality so it would be investigated in the same way any other death is. And with an open mind until the facts and evidence prove otherwise.
