    A nice duel-carrageway, and a left filter lane at an island, found some diesel on the road thanks to some trucker (or F***er) lead to an air-bourne meeting with the cantral reservation!
    A nice man called an ambulance, Police and for 2 Fire engines???? to cut me out. Thanks!
    not a plesant ride to hospital straped to a spinal board as I had some pain in my back!!
    Top service at A+E ( could be the work uniform........)

    in all seriousness though, well done for not getting hurt!

    Got 2 weeks off and loads of pain killers!
