thanks for all your comments they have all been passed on to my lad
Yes I tried to pull him out as he manged to get to the passenger side somehow and despite being covered in blood with obvious head injury he was shouting and moving about trying to get out!!
In those circumstances I think most of us would do their best to get the poor lad out
I have kept this very quiet but I was in a different profession for 13 years and have actually attended serious and fatal accidents so think I had a little clue what to do.
I honestly do not know how he survived but having just got back from dropping off a bottle of his favourite tipple you would think he had had a punch up thats all.
Mind you the whiplash is making him walk like Barrymore has given him a visit! lol

Please send him my regards, been in a serious accident myself a few years back
it took me years to feel safe behind the wheel again (i was a passenger), looks like that roof rack held the top together. I dont know the lad but will be thinking of him today.

good luck to the guy, we had an accident a couple of years ago and althotho it was my drivers fault it was still scary, again lucky no one was hurt - except pride, only thing i would like to say is we had a 1000litre tank fitted proffesionally by facelift and it was nearly full coming back down motorway and the tank only moved within the framework after an inpact of around 70mph, my thoughts are -whilst wfp is good please have it fitted properly as if we had fitted it ourselfs and it had gone forward we could be talking very differant stories. i know that many fit it themselfs as it cuts down cost but in the event of an accident it could make the differance. also anyone been asked by van insurance as to who fitted wfp and asked for written proof iif t wasnt done by themselfs. please note i am not having a go at anyone who does fit it themselfs but to me its better to have it done proffessionally, feedback from anyone whether fitted themselfs or by manufactorer would be interesting

Just seen the pic.

Goodness Me!
How did he ever walk away in one piece from that!

Hope he recovers (like someone else says mentally as well as physically)


I bet he'll have a different perspective on life after going through that.

Send our thoughts and best wishes.
