I know I haven't updated this for a long time, BUT....

BAD NEWS

RIP VECTRA


At 2am this morning.

Back end of the car slid out on me due to the state of Chester's roads. Icey and NOT gritted
Slid off the road and hit a lamp post head on at about 40mph.
I was under the speed limit !!

Just got back from Chester A&E.
A little sore. The seat belt did its job. Chest is going to bruise quite nicely, and they think I have sprained my thumb, so another bruise due to appear there.

I have pictures of the road (including the icey patches). Going up to the car tomorrow to collect my belongings, and will get photos of whats left of the car.

Emergency services on scene within a couple of minutes (All 3).


Pictures to follow.....

funnily enough, there were 2 other RTA's in the hospital last night

and the family whos wall i narrowly missed came out at the time and said im not the only person to spin out on that corner last night. but the 1st to actually hit something

not very good news. but it shows the council need to do something about that stretch. at least gritting it would be nice

apparently the damage to the car was quite excessive for a front end smash. i haven't seen it properly yet. head was up my arse at the time

going up to the car this afternoon
