[jasonh]

unfortunately there's some bits from my CS soon to be available

spun off the M1 Saturday morning on what appears to be a notorious blackspot.
managed to find the only piece of M1 with no barriers and ending up rolling over and over down an embankment, ended up on the roof.

engine is intact as is the interior and the wheels, rest of the car is f*cked
my girlfriend is about to have a spinal op on Thursday, 2 fractured vertebrae in her neck and a disk between C5&6 that needs removing, hopefully at the end of the op all will be well.

If it hadn't of been for the roll bars and 4 point harnesses I wouldn't be writing this now...

[rviant]

shocking. where abouts on the m1 was this?

Hope your girlfriend gets better quickly. Cars can be replaced

[nic360]

blimey jason - really sorry to hear of the incident and all the best to your girlfriend and operation - which bit of the M1 is known to be a danger area?

[jasonh]

200 yards from Jn 38...

thanks for all the kind sentiments, like you say, cars are replaceable...

[Jonny5]

I hope you and your mrs have a smooth recovery

I live 3 miles from Junction 38. Really sorry to hear that. As you say a Stradale is a very safe car in a roll - a Murcie is not something you would wish to be upside down in when the doors open upwards.
Best of luck to you both

Simon Tony 996 always carries a window smasher in his Lambo not that you would ever want to be in a situation to have to use it

i had to smash my side window to get out before I could open the door (looking at my right hand, wish I'd had a window smasher!), totally disorientated.
got really bad whiplash, broke the steering wheel with my ribs (no idea how?), metal brake pedal went through to my ankle bone another 1/2 inch I'd have bled to death waiting for the ambulance apparently...not sure how (and it's something I've asked the insurance inspector to check) - no airbags deployed

worst thing was, I had just about a full tank of petrol, only thing going through my head at the time was this thing is going to blow up, most frightening time of my life, ever.

[anniesdad]

Jeez that's awful - I wish you and your Girlfriend the swiftest of recoveries.

Sorry to hear about your crash
Hope all goes well with the op for your girlfriend.

[castex]

I'm desperately sorry to hear of your misfortune.
I wish your girlfriend a super-speedy and full recovery.
Simonspider, if ever the need arises - and I know that it won't - remember that the windscreen should pop out given pressure from the inside. That is, pushing with both feet.

[tony h]

omg. Jason, so sorry to hear of your crash. Thank God you and your Gf will be ok. Speedy recovery to you both.

Thanks again to everyone for your best wishes, I'll pass them on to Lou, I know she'll appreciate it...
In fact, she's probably reading this in hospital

Jason,
can you say about more about mway conditions ? Did you hit some oil ? Weather on Sat down here was atrocious with torrential rain and hale .

[d8ean]

although i dont know you personally, i never like reading about this sort of thing...

get well soon fella and hope the GF makes a speedy recovery, next time im in the CS this read will make me have the harness fitting properly

[t1grm]

Jesus Christ! That sounds like a seriously scary crash. Glad to hear you are both alive and hope the Mrs makes a full recovery. Your ankle must be pretty painful too?

Regards no airbags was it because there was no major frontal impact? Not knowing the circumstances of the crash here and purely hypothesizing but if you rolled several times that could indicate the car was on a sideways trajectory rather than a frontal one?

In any case, I’m sure you couldn’t give a toss right now and are just happy to be alive!
