just spoke to him car has been impounded for examination, but he wasn't arrested, the guy is ok he has a broken leg and bruising but is otherwise ok, by the way that i was described the accident it sounds like something broke coz he was just going for second gear IN A STRAIGHT LINE! and it just snapped round and the car hasn't got enough power for that so it does sound like a mechanical failure, but we will know more once the car is examined.
