Ayup fella's ive had a week ill not forget ! so here goes tueday 14th i was heading north on the m1 to do a job i leave the m1 at junc29 taking the slip rd and going right on the island keeping in the right hand lane taking the 5th exit down the 617 to mansfield as i indicate to leave the island a car rams straight into the passenger side at speed pushing me into the high kerb and than off rd i take 4 lamp post signs out before the van comes to a stop.
Anyway turns out the stupid WOMAN driver was in the wrong lane and she wanted to get back on the motorway fookin brill !!
here's whats left of a immaculate and i mean it twas really immaculate astra van
Front leg is badly damaged A-arm is bent, Drive shaft snapped and lots of bent bits wheel had to be removed as it folded and the inner wing has some big creases and pushed back.
Now lets see what the other side is like!
The 1st contact point.
Rear axle is bent.
Square wheels 1&2 and split!!
Wheel 3 badly split.
It all happened very fast and the only thing that i can remember thinking before the van came to a stop, is this is going to hurt as i took the huge signs out
the police are prosecuting the woman and she and her insurance have accepted full liability the recovery brought the van home because i had tools i needed to get out however some have been damaged and my satnav and phone kit is fooked as well..
