Default Came across a bad smash on wed

Drivin to salisbury on wed morn and just out of stow-on -the-wold on the A361 to burford,I was just about to floor it as the road is pretty cool and I thought I saw some dim blue neons ahead of me.It was about 5.30am.Anyway it turns out to be a newish saxo which was facin the opposite kerb (drivers door facin me).Only the windscreen was left in it.the driver was sat on the road still strapped in to his seat.god knows how the seat belt expanded?He was red from head to toe.Tried talkin to him and reassure him (called the coppers asap).Then I notice a hand stickin out of the tailgate.Shat meself.Thought he was dead coz he didnt respond but after 2 mins managed to get him round.Whats he do when he gets out the car.starts gobbin off at me and swearing like there is no tomorrow.Sussed that he was drunker than drunk.Guess his mate who was drivin was the same.God help them when the law has finished with them.I hear the driver wont die but is pretty badly hurt.The guy who was in the back kept sayin "wheres tim".I said is that him pointin to the driver and he said "no".I thought fook theres another in the ditch somewhere.turns out tim wasnt there and i imagine didnt know his motor had gone for a drive.copper was ok as well.Young and a bit nervous but what got me was when a female copper turned up and started tellin me what to do.got pi88ed off and gave my name and address and left.

he didnt ease up at the copper either when he arrived.I thought the copper was gonna slap him.I did turn me back just in case.He (the gobby one told the copper he was 18).Dont suppose he realised how close they were to dying.The car was a total mess.Every panel smashed and the roof at the back had scrape marks on it as well as being crushed down towards the seat.

Hi Shawn,hows it going mate?Yeah i suppose the training came in useful.I was just about to floor it coz i like that bit of road,fast sweeping and bottoms out awsomely.I was a bit knackered and was yawning a lot.god knows how i saw his windscreen washer neons?it was pitch black but something rang a bell in my head.you know how it is. I had stopped just a mile up the road to get out and get some air.thank god i did coz he could have took me out with him.If he had damaged the rs I would have bloody killed him myself.
