Good Evening

[Bazza]

just about to go to bed

when i got a phone call

from my son, saying he had had a crash

rushed down to where it was

unfortunatly on the way down i was stopped by an oncoming car, the woman telling me to turn around as there had been a bad accident, now i know she was being helpful, but that wasnt what i needed to hear :o

anyway got to the crash scene and was so glad to see my son walking around, him and two of his mates all with cuts and bruises and i imagine a few sore bits tomorrow

and to find his nice tidy micra looking not so nice

the accident happened on an unlit bend, as the brakes were applied the car slid, all the way into a tree

temperatures have been down to -3 tonight so were pretty slippery,

airbags deployed, and two hands went through the windscreen

i think he has had a very very lucky escape

so lets all be carefull out there

sitting here wide awake , wondering what could have happened

[TonyDownunder]

What bad luck. As long as the kids are OK. The car can be fixed.

[MrADeveci]

Glad everything is ok with your son mate.............. it's only metal after all, could have been a lot worse !

Braking on a bend is never a good thing !

Sheese. That is one lucky escape looking at the state of the Micra!

Hope all is well anyway. Bet you're so glad that your son and co were ok.

It was -3 this morning when I got up!!!

I think braking on bends, especially when you feel like the car is about to give way is a reaction kinda thing. Not good, but sometimes it cant be helped.

[SHAHZ]

Glad there all ok Bazza

[Dave-Ellen]

Glad Tony is OK.

As peeps have said cars can be mended ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Rob]

got to be careful with low temps and standard tyres, surprising how slippery the road can get

[Kazi]

Glad everyone was ok other than minor injuries, As Scarface says, only a apiece of metal.

[monster]

The main thing is that everyones OK and it's a lesson that can be learnt and walked away from.

[Purvesh]

Glad to hear everyone is ok, must be a shock to the the system for all of you.

Hope whoevers hands they were are ok.

[Parthiban]

Seems quite a lucky escape indeed, glad no one was seriously hurt

[johnboy]

Glad there all ok, as has beeen said, the car can be fixed.

Take care!

[MacRS200]

Nasty one, glad they are all OK barring a few cuts and bruises, that is the main thing.

Sounds like a simple, turn the wheel on an icy surface and go straight on, it happens.

[lexus boy]

At least he's all well

Means he will get a new car, as once all added up not really worth it

[LennyLexus]

That is very lucky escape just be glad he Tony and his mates are ok and stop thinking about what could have happen ;)

[Tony-Bones]

Parents worst nightmare...... Little Nissan did it's job and saved the occupant from serious harm.....

This not an easy lesson for the lad, but a lesson it is!

I truly feel for you all and i bet Janny is distraught, any help needed with the car i volunteer...

'Cat in post'

[Pip]

**** looks badly crumpled. At least no one was hurt.

'Cat in post'..... Bazza and Janney can have a free tension release kick from me on tigger....up dot.

[Fidgits]

Barrie, just be greatful everyone walked away from the accident..

Things happen, you cant predict, avoid or prevent, I realise as a parent you will find it hard not to worry, but he walked away, he's probably in more shock than you are...

And lets be honest, he probably learnt more from that one incident that every day of safe driving leading up to it - experience is something you cant get in a classroom

[Rillo]

glad all okay...however they say big cars are better in a crash, so you had better get an LS just to be safe :)

[mus26c]

Glad kids are ok, this is definitely a big shock to them, I hope in a positive way.

[Gord]

Good to here all are well :D

[LexusIS200Sam]

glad everyone is ok, Its a shame to see these things happen but as we all know, they happen.

[Monster-Mat]

Crikey, sorry to hear this barrie, please pay on my best wishes,

[peter026]

Glad to here all the boys are all right Barrie.........Lady luck must have been looking down on them, judging by the state of the car
