mk4 days over for a while

[davels]

ello peeps,

currently typing with one hand and pretty much the worst neck and back pain i have ever had, had a wee accident last night about 11pm on the local acle straight coming home from a little drivaround, doin about 60 on a single carraigeway and a deer walks out just in front of me i swerve but didn't even have time to brake and hit it. the rest of this story is peiced together from what other people saw and what i can remember. the deer luckely went under the car but it liffted the front nearside off the ground and coupled with the rear end slide out the car flipped sideways down the road aparently 4 or 5 times, as i came to a stop on my roof a car coming the other way hit me and spun me on my roof a couple of times. now at a stop the old addrenelin kicked in and i knew i just had to get out the car got the seat belt off and landed on me head and tried to kick the drivers side glass out but wouldn't budge passenger side was crushed closed compleatly luckely the the drivers side rear quarter glass had gone and i draged myself out the car. the rest was pretty much a blur TBH.
so the car is a write off(or i would presume so bein that it now looks like a red pyrimid and the car battery was found 15 ft away )

so there you go it's the end off the mk4 for me for the time being now trying to sort out work, the insurance and police so gonna be busy for a while trying to sort all this out, but i'll be around still
fireman said he couldn't beleive someont got out the car full stop let alone climbing out themselves and he said i was a very lucky boy and i tend to agree

cheers for reading guys
Dave

Strewth! It sounds like you had a very lucky escape.

That road is a killer but I didn't realise you got deer there as well to make things worse.

I hope you get everything sorted out all right. Venison for tea?

the ambulance nearly hit the deer i killed on the way to me, and they said how strange to see them on marsh land, on the way home from james pagent hospital we took the acle road and they'd cleared her up but a car in front of us nearly hit another one, as yu can imagine i nearly pooped myself as said "no not again"

[EdButler]

on a serious not her guys the car done exactly what it was suppose to do and the seat, seat belts and air bags worked perfectly(always wonderd how to test em ) to keep me safe while the rest of the car went to hell, it's a credit to SEAT and VW

 

[Ol' Timer]

Just as well you didn't end upside down in the dyke at the side of the road. Things could have been even more complicated.

Glad to hear you got out relatively unscathed - here's to a speedy recovery and a shiny new car!

 

[davea]

Strewth mate, glad your still hear to tell the tale and to come out of that horrendus accident relatively O.K.

To hit a dear is bad enough on its own, but then to roll, and than be hit by another car!!

Looks like the big chap upstairs was looking over you aswel.

cheers ant made me laugh
i post some pics up monday when i go to see the wreckage, spoke to the guy inspecting it and he thought it was a fatality until he looked closer and saw the drivers side wasn't crushed as much, any passangers wouldn't have survived. just keep thinking about over and over in my head and the docs said keep talking about it as it helps.

ps. i still don't like celery
