Lucky Escape

- Paul - · 08-03-2006, 03:51 AM

My mate did this yesterday:-

He was driving on his side of the road when a car swerved onto his side of the road. A head on crash sent him into the ditch which then flipped the car over. The A59 was the road (UK) He and the girl who was driving the other car are both absolutely fine.

Glad they are okay. What kinda of car were they in?

- Paul - · 08-03-2006, 04:14 AM

His was a Ford Mondeo - not sure about the other car.

ZuerstBMW · 08-03-2006, 04:15 AM

Thats what I thought. I guess its Ford tough by the looks of it.

Lucky escape is right - most of the time people don't walk away from a head on crash, especially if the car rolls.

Glad no-one was hurt - and the mondeo actually looks fine - just the wrong way up !

I dunno about fine

but it doesn't look too bad for the description of the accident.

that doesnt look too bad considering the type of accident... Glad the two of them are ok... Cars are only metal and can be replaced...

KL2DC · 08-03-2006, 03:24 PM

Wow that mondeo did very well...Ford and GM makes good cars abroad, they lost the plot here...

Unbelievable!
Of all the places he could have gone after an accident, & he's off to Prague!

Glad they are both ok.

BTW- nice signature Paul!
