Well I have been working 3 days a week on a delivery truck.
We were coming back from nana glen *little town west of Coffs Harbour* yesterday and this guy in what i think was a nissan patrol come flying around this long corner carrying heaps of speed, i reckon at about 120+ and he was 4 wheel drifting and slid into our lane and hit our truck and we straight away rolled over onto the passenger side and slid up the road. I was the passenger and my window smashed on me and my arm was bashing on the ground as we were sliding. We got out and the other guy in the 4wd had rolled a few times and was alive but in a bad way, what i saw in his car is burned into my head. After 1.5 hours the ambulance had got him out, but he unfortunatley died. My wife was bought out to where i was by a friend (scott) and they stayed there till me and bill *my mate driving the truck* were taken to the hospital. After the Dr dug around in my arm for a bit i was good to go. So we get in scotts car and start to head home, get 2 mins up the road and scott gets t boned on my side and that spins us around. I was so ****ed off i just wanted to go home. lol. The cops and ambos rock up, and saw me and said 'werent u at hospital 3 mins ago from the nana glen crash mate ??' they couldnt believe it. But anyhow, none of us were hurt in that crash and the other driver was fine, so we got a lift to woolies in the back of a divvy van and my bro got off work early and drove us home, nice and slowly :Reverend: I am glad to have walked away twice. Thanks for listening to my story. lol Attached are some pics i took with me phone

OMFG that is incredible. Very sad the bloke died, but his car in that pic looked like nobody would escape alive... :( :( :(
I am glad to hear that you are all ok though. I agree, go buy a lottery ticket.

Yeah the main thing is that your okay, having 2 car accidents in the one day is pretty full on!! Its sad to hear that the 4WD owner died, goes to show what happens when you don't drive to the roads conditions!

Geez mate the 4 wheel drive must have been moving to turn you on your side. I saw it on the news cos I'm on Mid NC too. Bucca Rd a bit twisty in places too. I think I would have walked home from second smash. Glad to see you looked death in the eye and told him straight " F**K OFF."

Unbelievable
 : The pessimist would say your damned unluckly having two serious prangs in a day. The optimist would say your damned lucky to be here. Buy a lotto ticket.... maybe walk to the shop though  :

Wow, glad to hear your OK mate, thats the stuff nightmare's are made of. Glad you were in a truck not a car or it may well have been far worse. A classic reminder why you should tell those you care about how much they mean to you.
Cheers, Greg P.s. I hope you did buy a lotto ticket! |

It's a good thing you're OK mate.
P.S. Aren't we all technically luckier than he is? having not been in two crashes?
