Not me, but my step dad was just involved in a RTA... 3 cars (including himself) Happened on this stretch of road
HereGoogle maps doesn't show it too well tbh... but...
Where the building is on the left of the road, its a junction to turn right (you can see the road on the right just between the trees). There was a car indicating to turn right there into the side road for Nalco. (left side of road, heading from bottom to top)
Step father was coming opposite way (top to bottom) other car was stationary, indicating (all well and good)
Blue Pug 406 comes 'Storming' along (from what told) from bottom to top (heading to the Fiesta which was indicating right) no time to brake, so went smack into the back...
Pug span off to the left side, all front end caved in, air bags deployed, etc...
Fiesta was shunted and span around into the path of my step dad's Focus (as he was along side it) Rear end of Fiesta has been shunted a good 2ft in.
And as for my step-dads car, the fiesta has taken out his offside rear 1/4, bumper, rear door, and the wheel looks like its sitting too far in at the top of the arch, so guessing the hub has also taken a bashing... (instead of the wheel being | its \ )
Police & ambulance were there, I went down to check he was ok/see whats going in incase he couldn't drive the car, but he brought it home.
Insurance will probably write it off given its a Y-reg 1.6 Zetec... Cost of repair will no doubt be too expensive given the value of the car itself... Still, see what happens when the assessors or whatever come out to look at the car. He's been given various producers, etc, was breathalysed (standard procedure) and interviewed there n then...
