My mates crash yesterday ! OMG **Pics**

[Jonny_H]

OMG!!! have known my mate since nursery and now we work together...

Just finished work and coming down the motorway, seen all the slow down signs.... saw a van smashed into the barrier and then further up seen an my mates absolutly demolished corsa, then looked across and seen my mate sat there on the barrier..... pulled over and legged it over to him....

He was driving down the motorway, went to change lane and his tyre burst causing him to spin out, then he hit a van in the next lane which made him flip...

my mates ok tho, just cuts and stuff and he's very shook up (he only bin driving a month or so)

but whats crazy is that we normally car share... and the passenger side of the car was completely crushed, the roof caved in.... well bad... he's lucky to be alive... cant believe he's come out of it practically unhurt

he's going to check his car out in next few days so i will upload pics... the cars a complete mess every window smashed and every panel severley damaged

Glad he's OK! Not a lot you can do stop a random blowout so long as they tyres were in good condition on the car beforehand.

[Jonny_H]

lol he didnt even go hospital... ambulance seen to him and he refused to go hospital coz all he had was custs on his arms from where it flipped, his arm had scraped along the floor... he came in work this morning

[Jonny_H]

i know it's useless without pics... and no one will belive how bad the crash actually was without seeing the pics.... will upload when i can.... sorry...

i did try to take pics then and there but got told to move by fire/police

[ShaneVtr]

[JC-Furio]

Sounds pretty nasty geez, good thing your mate was in a corsa instead of a saxo... think he'd come off a bit worse than that.

Hope all's good with your mate and get some pics up asap :D:y:

[Tupps]

[tobomoto]

should have told them it was for insurance purposes. they cant do anything then.
glad your mates ok though.

[pjm300]

lol he didnt even go hospital... ambulance seen to him and he refused to go hospital coz all he had was custs on his arms from where it flipped, his arm had scraped along the floor... he came in work this morning

he's fucked then if he wants to make a personal accident claim.

should always go to hospital after a crash

[Berg]

[saxo1510]

[JimoVTR]

[Matty-VTR]

[Ryan]

at least theres one positive - one less vauxhall shitbox on the road :P now he can go buy a proper car to enjoy and get confident with :P

[blusax]

lucky for u and unlucky for him :)

[Nathan]

glad your mate is safe and sound.

at least theres one positive - one less vauxhall shitbox on the road :P now he can go buy a proper car to enjoy and get confident with :P


you may say shitbox lad but if its as bad as he said The Corsa C's Have an NCAP rating of 4, so god help him if he was in a saxo! :P

Luckily tho you lot seem to be able to drive and you dont hear many about accidents;)

[shooorn94]

Luckily tho you lot seem to be able to drive and you dont hear many about accidents;)

If we were to have an accident the only noticeable thing would be no shows at meets and no longer showing on the forum :panic:

Been a few crashes over the last year, most came out reasonably unhurt, one even flipped several times! :panic:

Sorry to hear about your mate though, the car really doesn't matter at least he is ok, and that you are as well.

[Jonny_H]

updated with pics! see first post

[AlexR]

Nasty, thank fuck nobody was in the back.

[kc51]

ouchhhh

[pollard313]

Did it get taken to the compound on windmill lane in denton by any chance?

[shooorn94]

He is so lucky to get out of that ok it's unreal. The B pillar must be pretty damn strong tbh. So glad I changed my slowly deflating tyre!

[matt-88]

I glad your mate fine, But as they say....

"If your gonna do it, Do it properly" And that my friend he certianly did.

[Ste]

Lucky he doesnt drive a saxo then, would've been fuct. Glad everyones ok.

Nice to know it was a legit crash, too many crashes on here happen because of too much speed. Hopefully your mate doesn't get put off driving.

[JC-Furio]

Jesus christ, everytime i look at the pics i'm more amazed at how your mate came out of that without any serious injury. That is one totally shagged car. :ponder:

As Ste said, hope he doesn't get put off driving because of this... just totally unlucky.

Know what the cause of the tyre bursting was yet, just some debris or something i presume?

[djawesome123]

Wow that looks really bad actually. Lucky you werent in the passenger side tbh

[mat_106]

holy ****!!

Very lucky and as said glad hes ok

[saxowebby]

fuck, looks well bad

[Jonny_H]

Did it get taken to the compound on windmill lane in denton by any chance?

ye i think so mate... i happened on the motorway coming from hyde to denton...

and he hasnt been put off driving, he drove my mates car into work the next day lol

[danzman1991]

Bloody hell

[Tupps]

As Ste said, would have been dead if he was driving a saxo

[coolj522]

Thats a nasty crash, glad to hear he is ok tho!!

[Robb]

Shit.

All that from a tire blow out?

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

glad ur mates ok thats the main thing, the corsa now looks like a citroen C3!!

[steve_335]

damn, that's one bad crash, glad he's ok
