Just come across these pics from an accident i was a passenger in back in 2003, and its just reminded me how lucky i am still to be here! They are old pics!
I was in this saxo on the 1st of may 2003!
Driving back into Chelmsford heading towards the army and navy and about to go over the flyover! As we reached the bottom I looked up (from the back) to see 2 people walking over it! Music was pretty loud so I had to shout at vicky (the driver) who didnt hear me, so I shouted again...a bit louder! She then noticed....slammed on her brakes which inturn locked up facing the concrete blocks at the entrance to the flyover which we inturn hit! We went up the concrete hit the pillar and rolled the car 3 times up the flyover and slid back down on the roof!!
Me and Chris were in the back both wearing seat belts...Vicky and Wayne were in the front ... not wearing seat belts....
At the the beginning...Chris was asleep until we skid....opening his eyes to concrete! I remember rolling but then thats it! I came round to Vicky shouting thru the rear quarter window at me to get out! Im hanging upside down on my seat belt!! Funny thing was my first thought was "Im in a 2 door car how the fcuk do I get out" ....not the fact Im upside down!!
I then kinda came round a bit more...tried to find the seat belt release and went head first to the floor (roof) I then crawled out of the rear quarter window...
I suffered a lil whiplash, and quite a bit of glass in my hair! Vicky the driver had a grazed elbow...where her window was open! Wayne(front passenger) took the brunt of the collison..he had a crack in a bone in his chest (and no not a rib!) lol Chris had a headache...as he was asleep he was limp! so was ok!
We were all very lucky to walk away! The police told us if we had hit 2cm to the left...none of us would be here! SO yes...VERY lucky!!!
We went and saw the car the following day and the front nearside wheel was actually 3 foot from where it should of been, i did have a load more pics but lost them when I moved!
