Accident (very graphic)

[Lynsey]

Sorry folks - link removed. I'm all for promoting the message of road safety and responsible driving but those images are not the way to do it. They are on that site for purlely vouyeristic purposes and is most certainly unsuitable material for linking into from this site where we cater for all ages and dispositions.

MMM

Bloody hell, people be warned, this is awful....but this is waht happens when you **** about and speed.

[Crombers]

Shocking & a tad to much detail re photos :disapprove:. These shots should never have been allowed onto the inernet in the first place.

Why? so we can pretend that when people die in RTA'S they look serene and happy, that is not the case and people should be aware that this is what they will look like when their families see there bloody corpses, all so they could go a bit faster.

[sleepyrascal]

Its a very strong reminder of what can happen!!

[Scottie]

The pictures are indeed hard to look at.

I can only imagine how hard it is sometimes for the emergency services.

Travelling the A9 and the roads up here a lot I have only once been a witness to a fatal about 5 mins from my house and first on it. Allan dealt with it I may be a red cross first aid person but no way was I prepared for that.

You think yeh show the youngster these pictures but you can't help to wonder if they would really mkae a difference would they take in the message some young ones are so gun ho it will never happen to me.

So I agree with everyone on this one.

Trust you are OK , what happened :question:


Fish tailed on a motorway bend (very start of m73 from m74 to be precise), ended up on grass fish tailed somemore, almost ended up in trees and on m74 sideways, got back onto the bend and almost regained control but back end kicked out again and went head first into crash barrier right above the m74 and bounced back off it. Burns, cuts and bruises but ill survive... maybe some stuff appearing in the for sale section soon though :disapprove:

[Scottie]

MAYBE BEFORE THE SITE GETS BUSY TOMORROW AND JUST IN CASE ANY KIDS LOG ON THE LINK SHOULD BE DELETED.

I know that but you can never tell. You don't know everyone on here some people may lost close family members through car accidents perhaps this is the last thing they want to see. Human nature makes people click on the link. yes I agree it gets the message over the pictures I can take but perhaps not eveyone can.

The cars bad enough aye, was a really bad impact on the barrier but insurance have decided they want a total of 6 grand excess before they look at it. Dunno if it was some form of oil/chemical or just a bump or kink in the road and with the road being greasy and wet lost control.

Im alright, had gfriend in the car too though and shes slightly hurt, nothing compared to me. Done nothing but blame myself for everything lol :dead:

you got pictures.

[Sweeney]

nope, front bumpers all smashed and cracked, bonnets crumpled along the entire front and has been shoved up and is all out of line, spotlights and grilles are all mangled and smashed, pretty sure front suspensions totally gubbed, steerings gubbed, radiator is gubbed cause it spilled its guts afterwards, windscreens smashed, airbags deployed on impact, alloys are gubbed i think, didnt try to open bonnet or that though so who knows what the internals are like. Been in shock since it happened had to be pulled out the car by a couple of guys who stopped when they saw me hitting barrier cause i couldnt move, didnt have a clue where i was.

holly feck.... glad you got out with only cuts and bruises...

hope you get it sorted and at the end of the day, although we LOVE our cars, it's only a piece of metal and is insured...:D bodies are priceless, cars can be rebuilt or replaced much easier..

[Scottie]

I've got a few sets of alloys ;) if you need new ones:p

glad your ok

[AndyP & Lenore]

Really sorry to hear of your smash Ryan:(:(:(. Glad you and your GF are (relatively - when you look at the pics at the start of this thread) OK.

Why do your insurance co want £6K excess to "look" at the car?

Obviously I wasn't there, but I'm not convinced the guys who pulled you and your GF out the car were acting in your best interests. Adrenaline masked broken back, anyone? Lucky.

A.:(

[Sweeney]

Yeah i know although cars not gonna be repairable i dont think because looking at the back it all looks kinda deformed, the back number plate is all shattered and exhaust looked right out of place, its really taught me to live my life a little differently and with a totally different attitude, we were very lucky how it happened, could've been much much worse... trouble with things like this though far too many what ifs :(

Actually they were acting in the very best interest, the gfriend kept me as calm as possible dunno how she was so collected about it... we were sitting sideways in the fast lane, one of them was a male nurse so gave us a check over and told me how to treat my injuries and what to do if we felt ill etc. They done what they could with the car given that the road was still open and traffic flowing.

Regarding the excess, it was my dad who dealt with getting it so no doubt my premium will be rock bottom hence the massive excess.

[Sheilz]

Sorry about your accident. Why do the insurance company want six grand excess? Thought most young drivers were stung with about £400/500. Seems a bit punitive to me.

Re accident photos. yes these are gruesome and a sobering reminder about speed, alcohol, road conditions etc. I showed them to Nik who has now had his first ten driving lessons, and raring to get his own car. I would rather he and his friends saw these pictures than end up in the picture. I would have been quite sceptical about the power of the visual message until quite recently when during a discussion about drugs Nik told me that the TV ad where the young lad's life take two different paths depending on whether he accepts or rejects the offer of drugs made a real impact on him, as with those on smoking. For this generation of kids brought up with PC and console games, pictures etc have a much greater influence than adults just harping on about stuff. I would agree with Paddy on this one but would much rather they produced fake stuff than violate the privacy of the family. There is also the possibility that the family agreed to the pictures being used since it could help prevent another such tragedy. People can take comfort from the strangest of things after this kind of thing.

[sh@z]

Seen this on various other forums, real shame :(

[GP 1536]

Glad no one else was killed in this accident.Very graphic pictures and very horrific.She must have died instantly.Shame,very pretty girl who had her whole life ahead of her.A major lesson to be learned here.

[AeroJonny]

What a terrible, terrible shame.

Ryan, it's great to hear that you and your g/f are not too badly hurt.

[Gismo]

By the sounds of it it's probably best that i can't see the pictures, thank you BP websense.
Sweeney, sorry to hear about your accident too, that £6k excess is way excessive :disapprove:

[bpirie1000]

Seams to have been removed......

Must of been horrible.

[ianking]

I cant see the pics there is nothing there

Ryan, sorry to hear about your accident, hope you get your insurance pennies sorted out, remember to strip the car bar ebefore it goes away to the car garage in the sky. I had everything of my mini before it went to the breakers.
