An accident which was no ones fault, no blame lies with anyone, just an unfortunate chain of events which nearly cost me my life
To cut a long story short - on the A1 wet/sleety bitterly cold weather last night, overtaking a HGV went to pull back into inside lane, lost the back end, spun twice then flipped twice comign to a rest in a ditch
Managed to open the door and get out, phoned emergency services they all turned up amazed i walked out virtually unscathed
A few cuts and bruises and a swollen hand as well as a bit sore but nothing is broken or damaged
Car doesnt buff out so it has gone to car heaven, my god it deserves its place in there! Just to let you know this car is nearly 10 years old ive had it for 4 years, never let me down mechanically and didnt let me down when it mattered
I always knew these were good cars which is why i bought one and ill always recommend them now for all of eternity
Minutes after accident
Viewed the damage this morning, totally stunned i walked away
No one initially stopped so no witnesses but i am not being charged with anything i.e. dangerous driving nor will any further action will be taken against me so im happy i didnt cause anything, nor was any of it my fault
No one is quite sure what happened, i think i lost grip on the white lines on the road and thats how i lost the back end, but cant rule out a diesel patch, oil patch in the road, it isnt a blowout either as the tyres are still on the car abeit damaged there are also no visible skid marks nor was there any tyre debris
Im not an inexperienced driver either had liscence for a number of years and used this route well 100's of times
But i am fine and will be - i remember everything that happened and it was all in slow motion, but i had prepared myself for the reaper or a knockout blow, neither came
Someone defiantely was watching over me, be careful out there now winter is coming in
