Heres the storey behind the pic (below)...BTW I first posted this about a year ago when I saw the pic on PassFord:
Thats the Cossie that crashed in my driveway!
It happened 6 or 7 years. I moved to Somerset (from London) three years ago. A couple of months after I setteled in, the previous owner came to vist me and see how I was enjoying life in Somerset.
He noticed that I had a Cosworth and proceded to tell me of how one summers evening him and his wife were on the patio having tea and heard a very loud bang. Then 4 - 5 seconds later they were both showered by fragments of glass that hit them and the house. The house/patio is about 80 feet away from the driveway where the impact happened
The Cossie was overtaking and did not pull back in on time and hit a transit van semi head on.
He told me that he was first on the scene and it was VERY obvious that the driver was dead! No passenger thankfully.
Blood everywhere - his wife was screaming.
He told me the story, and I sort of pictured in my mind how bad it would have been.....thought that he may have been exagaratiing.....Then last I saw the above pic here on PF......while looking at the pic I thought "god - bad crash" then suddenly noticed the roof line of the house and it dawned on me that it was my house in the picture! Spooky or what?

Well, actually someone else on PassFord originally put that pic up.....I cannot read the caption BUT:
The pic belongs to Avon & Somerset police and is still used to this day in their mobile safety caravan/roadshow trailer that they take to various events throughout Somerset - together with other horific images of bad crashes that have happened in the area.
