Looks pretty bad. I believe he had Gardiner Super Zero system (now Grippamax) in his vans?

Hi Guys

It was my son driving he Aquaplaned at about 40 mph and lost control, really lucky he never went over the estuary wall

It was about 6.00 am, heavy rain and hailstone, he never saw the standing water, until it was too late, by that time the sterering and brakes were useless

Drivers OK, a little bit battered and bruised, a bit shaken, but didn't get wet despite the 600 litres of water in the back, and all the water in the estuary

Glad your son is well Dave and survived to tell the tale.

Here's a question of relevance. Was the tank in the back full and was it fitted by a professional company or strapped in with ratchets?
