Weezer Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) Driving along the M4 westbound towards Cardiff last wednesday, the van pulled across in front of me and ran into the back of the van in front of him which in turn caused him to hit 4 cars up ahead. I was the unlucky sod behind it all, resulting in this .. Fortunatley I had dropped my patient off half an hour before in Swansea. Pheeeew! http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z242/blondie_Vi/accident002.jpg Fortunately the car is being repaired, not written off. I have a broken hand and an egg on my head where the airbag 'failed' and I smacked my head on the wheel, but other than that there were no other injuries of such. Very lucky indeed. The van driver has been charged and put at fault so I'm betting his insurance will have a wail of time with claims from 5 other drivers. Just thought I'd share Edited September 3, 2008 by Kylie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezer Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) Take it you didn't need to call (another) ambulance then Haha, no I didnt I was assed by a paramedic who was fortunately a few cars behind it all. With me being on my own and around 4 hours from home he said I should stay with the car and go to the hospital when I got back to sheffield. But with everything that followed I wish I had. I was shaking that much I couldn't even hold a ciggy! Because It had bee someones fault it took aggggeees to sort out, each of us spending half an hour in the police car doing breath tests and the like. I got recovered off the motorway at 7.15 (not bad considering it happened at 5!!) Then dumped at a services 40 miles up the road at 8ish and then finally picked up by the AA at 10.30. Cant say as I enjoyed myself one bit. ...and to top it off the AA driver drove as far as he could upto midnight then had to stop for his hour break I got home at 3.30 in the morning ... not bad eh Must say though everone I came accross was very helpful and kind to me - the recovery people and especially the lady at the services who put a sling on my arm, gave me a cup of tea and let me lie down in one of the Holiday Inn rooms.

Yeah pretty ghey indeed I was noted down as car number 5. The van in front was number 1 obviously and 1,3,4 up to the front car. So my company will be having only one claim off the number 1 imagine. Not too sure how it all works. As for Mr Meek - it wouldn't suprise me Thanks Badboyclub (sorry not sure what your name is) hope your feeling better after yours, that was nasty.
