On my way home from work when a truck loaded with a bobcat decides not to stop. He reckons he hit me at 80km, not too much damage but enough for it be written off..

ouch!

i wonder what a car with extensive damage would look like in your eyes!!

not much damage my ass, woulda felt that

It is bad but not as bad as some other pics on here!

Never got to see the result of the truck .. was taken to hospital too quickly ..

It snapped the chassis in 2 places after twisting.

Repairable write off with $15000 worth of damage. Made an excellent half cut for another FTO owner.

I was left a back injury but happy I'm fine besides that. Workers comp .. So lucky!

dam unlucky well all u can do is start agaiin mate

Exactly what I was thinking lol. Good to see your alright though that looks nasty

daym...

one fto down.....

Thanks for posting . . .

Were you;
a) joining the left traffic lane (pic taken at a lane-drop) ; or
b) stopped in the wide, left emergency shoulder, or
c) did the other vehicle simply collect you whilst you were driving along, or
d) other??

I am leaning to C myself, the 'heavy' damage is mostly RH meaning the person tried too late to jump into the RH lane to pass you. (You may have had to slow for traffic ahead, that sort of thing).


* NB - After the event, rear-most vehicle *should* have left/put its hazard-warning lights on. I apply that to the ambulance in pic too. A secondary crash can result in penalty for not doing so.

oh to bad, such a nice looking car too

I was on my way home from work & it was raining in 10 sec intervals .. I was travelling down the M7 approaching merging traffic .. I proceeded to slow down due to peak hour & the truck behind me was texting so he didn't notice me slowing down .. due to the bob cat being on him .. he had no chance of stopping .. as I heard his breaks screaching I pushed my whole body weight & locked the wheel to the left .. The pictures are from where my car stopped ..

My hazzard lights were on & the police turned them off as they were taking photos due to poor visibilty (over cast) .. they blocked off 1 lane 500m up the road due to petrol leak from the truck ..

A fire chief was behind the truck that hit me so he had his safety vest on & witches hats out before they got me out of the car ..

Sorry to see m8. Good luck in the future!

ouch

sorry to see your car gone!! time for a EVO

dang, that sucks, gotta lol at the fact the indicator was still working after that haha! tuff lights those FTO's must have =P

bad luck mate, atleast ur not that badly hurt

jeeze that cleaned up the back ay...
..lucky it was the back end that took most of the damage though

All in all if you're alive and still walking it's a good thing...

There's always more cars out there....
