Crash

Hi,

Just thought i would share some pictures of my best mates car after his little brother decided to take it out for a spin while he was away working in london, and totalled it.

He had only owned it 4 weeks and only driven it 4 times in total before it was crashed.

See if you can guess what kind of car it is. Il post the rest of the pictures of it after weve had some guesses, cant post the rest because the badge would give it away.

Ouch, if my (hypothetical) brother did that, he'd have a fat collar.

See that would be too simple for me.

What happened? Did a twig hit it or something?

st@nners · 24 Apr 2006 at 18:17

Yeah he'd have a fat collar if he was mine too. Best thing about it him and the passenger only got a police caution for it.

He overtook a car on a left hand bend and swung back in to avoid on coming traffic. He had paniced tho and he caused the car to roll with him swinging back in too fast. He must have really yanked that wheel back to the left fast.

Did they walk away from it?

How did he manage to cause so much damage.

Sparky191 · 24 Apr 2006 at 18:20

How on earth did he do that?

Slammed the door too hard?

Looks nasty, how does he stand with insurance? Is he going to get anything back for it?

Well thats a kick in the teeth for the owner!

Some people complain that small cars are getting lardy due to NCAP tests and the like, but it has almost certainly saved the drivers and passengers lives in this case.

There is no way the windscreen pillars would have held the roof up like that in a Saxo or other cars of the same or earlier era.

Yeh the passenger only had a few bits of glass in his head, so nothing life threatening, they just pulled them out and that was that.

The driver on the other hand seriously damaged his arm. Metal pins, false bone, and skin grafts to fix it. Still not 100% better but its a lot better than it was.

Ouch, hope he's ok after it though. I'll bet your mate will be taking his keys with him in future!

How old was the lad that crashed it btw?

Yeah i dont think hes daft enough to leave them hanging around again in a hurry. Then again i dont think his brothers daft enough to try it again..

The driver and passenger were 18.

Insurance paid him out last week after 5 months of waiting for police reports etc.

When he crashed it he took out about a 100 foot section of railway fencing, maybe more, that was reinforced concrete posts with large metal bars between the posts, obviously he didnt totally remove the fence but he caused so much damage to it, it needed to be replaced. He also totally demolised a bus stop, and came to rest when he hit the railway bridge.
