hybrid 1043 Report post Posted November 23, 2005 (edited) Well where do I start, My brother was travelling down to Rotorua Monday night. Just out of Tirua he saw a road sign that was pointing straight a head when in fact up over the rise there was a corner. That and a wet road + night time. He rolled the car 5-6 times (we counted from the ground impact marks) through 2 fences and up over a third fence (missing it completely and landing on his wheels. Somehow he managed clear the car over a whole paddock. He narrowly missed a land post by about a foot. My family and I went down and sorted the mess out yesterday and returned him safely home, he's still under observation from concussion but apart from that bloody lucky. anyways... pics Edited November 23, 2005 by hybrid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadowninja 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2005 Glad to hear he's ok. Yeah the insurance company won't be very keen to cover him for another performance car after doing that, especially in a single vehicle accident. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted November 23, 2005 just showed him this, http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?f...7B08C27E218&p=1 he said it was a lot like the second car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted November 23, 2005 Hope he'll get well soon. If he rolled 6 times, he just evened the world record for rolling a car at high speed. It was on Top Gear few weeks ago. Insurance would be a pain for the next few years I'd say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dnz 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2005 As much as he should have been going at a 'safe speed' in the wet, i would make a big deal out of it if the signage is wrong. Take pictures of it and mention to the ltsa... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take pictures of it and mention to the ltsa... yeah, agreed....interesting note, a girl died 3 years earlier by hitting the land post he _just_ missed with the same circumstances.

Yeah what I thought until I saw the scene of the crash. I even tried it in my car .. there is no way (even in daylight) people would see the corner.
