Tribute to Car Accident Kids - I'm Angry!!!

[Smurf1976]

You want tragic, the girl that was driving her car along greenhill rd here in SA and a bloody gumtree branch fell on her car, causing her to crash and she died two days later. That was TRAGIC.

Very nearly had that happen to me a few years ago and it's something I will never forget.

Travelling about 90 knm/h on the Lyell Hwy (Tas) heading west near the Tungatinah lakes. Big limb from a tree, about 40cm diameter, fell straight down onto the bonnet of the moving car literally straight in front of me. Had I been half a second earlier, it would have come straight through the windscreen and into my face...

End result - bonnet, all front lights and front bumper smashed. Car was still driveable and I did complete the trip including return past the same point a few hours later. Didn't stop immediately after the impact, I was too shocked and worried about anything else falling down, but I took photos on the way back.

No, I'm not really one for getting angry or being offended (sure you're not mixing up some of the replies? . I just think it's clear that those who left the cans didn't give it much thought, or intended it to be a warning or offensive.

I thought yesterday's story was actually pretty funny .
