I've got phone pics but no way of getting them on here. Anyone got email or something on their phone? I'll send them over if someone can get them on here.
This morning I'm at work standing out front with my mate having a chat (working hard) when we hear an almighty smash. We both look over and see this car rolling over and smashing on to it's roof. Chrysler PT Cruiser thing it turned out to be. Anyway the thing is sliding on it's roof fast. We both start to bolt into the work shop when the thing hits a big old street light pole and stops dead.
I run over and there's a lady inside stuck in her seat upside-down. I say something to the description of "fucking christ are you alright." She calmly just says "yeah, yeah I'm okay. I'm fine."
And elderly man had just pulled out of a side street into her rear quarter panel. And as far as I can figure it's clipped the tram tracks of something and flipped, was really weird. Made a real mess of a parked Honda too. Anyway we did the 000 call, cops took all of two minutes to arrive and beat the firies; which is funny because there's a fire station literally 400m up the road. Anyway we get her out, paramedics check her out and all that and she was fine. She was taking photos of the car with her phone even!
Paramedics did have to take someone to hospital though. This happened right outside the local mini mart, and the owner went into shock. I thought it was fucking hilarious, the lady who is stuck upside-down is fine and this guy who saw it has to get taken away. He's turned out to be fine too.
Was just real weird. The old guy was in a mark 4 Golf, which could have been fixed with a new headlight and bumper. Didn't really look like there was all that much speed.. Makes you really think too about being on the road. You can be going along doing all the right things then just be fucked over so fast. Was really REALLY lucky no one was hurt. If the owner of the Honda was getting in or out of the door they'd surely be dead.
