A very close call.................Updated Photo
« on: July 06, 2010, 11:35:20 am »
Had the phone call that almost everyone with family doesnt want to get, to hear some of your family have been envolved in a serious car accident.

Got the call to go rescue them, Very fortunately nobody was hirt but if it wasnt for my brother-in law and wife getting out as quick as they did, i think i would of lost them.

Basically their car had broken Down ( Renault Clio) and they got out of the car to call the AA breakdown recovery,  and whilst waiting for recovery crew to arrive, adam my brother -in law decided to go back to the car to retrieve his wifes handbag from the footwell. Just as he was walking away from the car, a artic Lorry who plainly wasnt paying attention, didnt see adams car at the side of the road and this is what happened................





Rolled the lorry onto its side, and made 2 other cars crash, fortunalty no fatile injurys , but only the lorry driver got taken to Hospital.

Was on a Road near christchurch yesturday tea time around 6.15 ish.

My brother and his wife were quite shaken up by this as you can imagine.

So just goes to show why you should never stay sat in a car if you ever break down.Especially as there was no hard shoulder.

Mate, glad to hear they're safe and sound. It's the kind of thing nobody wants to hear.


The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
