Driving from the north east back to Worcester on Sunday night we had a slight accident.

As we were going along had seen a large patch of standing water and commented to the other half on it and backed off the throttle. As I backed off car went light and that was it.

We span 180 and ended up facing a lorry in lane one before it collected us and we effectivly started getting pushed along in a T-Bone fasion. Lorry grill pushing my drivers door.

We then got rolled over and as we went over the lorry went over the car and as we came from under the lorry we flipped over again.


My friend in the back seat crawled out through a back window, my fiancee and me crawled out through a door which was pried open by people that had stopped.

We all were mobile and generally ok. I have some cracked ribs from the inpact with the stearing wheel and roof pushing me down.
Fiancee came away the lightest with a scrapped shin and somewhat tender.
My friend came away with internal brusing and aching.

They rate RTA on a 1 - 10 scale and according to the fire brigade we were a "holy st, you 3 came out of that".

If we had been in the mrs's corsa we all feel the outcome would of been very different and I probably wouldn't be writing this.

Guess I'll have to start the fun process with this insurance and see how good they are.

If you think what's happened to it and those 3 people survived. That's damn good really.
