Just walked back in the door after witnessing the aftermath of a horrible car crash :(

I've been taking the dogs to the park early as its been so warm & whilst walking around the park I heard the most awful noise, screeching brakes & a sickening thud, I put the dogs on their leads & walked to the entrance to see a car & truck smashed head on into each other :( I called 999 but police were already aware, thankfully the ambulance & police station is only a couple of hundred yards away & were there within 4/5 mins, gave my details to the police before coming home but can't see that I'd be any use as I didn't see anything, just heard the noise :(

God help the car driver cry
 
I have deleted your post Colin . I thought you might think better of it as it could have been misinterpreted.

That's horrible Aldaniti - I was going to work early a couple of years ago and saw a student out of his face get hit by a car and fly into the air like a rag doll . It was horrific. Fortunately, it turned out that he wasn't killed or permanently maimed - almost certainly because he was drunk and his body went floppy apparently - sickening thing to see though.
 
Thankfully I didn't see it, the crash that is!
I read Colins post & its ok as I know he was pulling my leg (winking smilly has disapeared)

I don't understand why the crash appeared to be so bad as it was almost on top of a roundabout so they could not of been going that fast shrug::

Considering the amount of crashes on a daily basis it was actually the first accident involving a car that I've been near, although I have witnessed in full horrific detail a plane crash in which two people died, we were at an airshow 3 years or so back & the plane a fairy firefly or something like that just didn't get the lift & just slammed into the ground 200yrds from where we were standing :eek: that caused sleepless nights for months afterwards but it wasn't the sight of the crash it was the noise of the plane hitting the ground, just a dead thud cry
 
Hope they are all OK.
On a slightly different note, re the guy "off his face". There was a story in our local paper a year or so ago, regarding a parking ticket.

A man had stopped his car to guide a drunk man out of the middle of a busy A Road near us. He got a parking ticket for stopping on yellow lines. Despite appealing, saving the drunk guys life and preventing any car drivers being hurt, the council would not withdraw it's ticket.

What a bunch of, ahem, "idiots". Seems a £60 fine is worth more than a man's life.
 
Its in our local paper today, the car driver who also had a baby in the back escaped with only cuts & bruises which considering he had to be cut out of the car, he is a very lucky man! the baby was unhurt & so was the pick up truck driver.
