Geralds Mercedes accident
This is Geralds accident. Hope the Mods dont mind me moving it here
Mercedes?? Well what does one say about them??? except "S####T I am a Leyland, Daf, Volvo, Man, driver. Mercedes+40 Foot Curtain sider + Melamine Chipboard, almost brought about my demise. The whoe issue rolled at 40 miles an hour on a shallow bend, approaching Bolham on the way from South Molton in north Devon to Tiverton via, A361 to Bolham and on to London.
I was pretty beat up after the accident. My Daughter was with me and as luck would have it she was in the bunk when it happened. I was thrown out of the cab, and suffered 3 broken ribs, a punctured right lung, Broken pelvis, and a cracked right cheekbone, plus cuts and bruises, Shona my daughter was ok just shookn up. It was only because of her that I survived. Because in the dark she went onto the main road and flagged down a passing motorist and got the emergency services, Shona was just 12yrs old.
But I remember much better times before that with better trucks.
