Oh you'd be surprised what people do walk away from. Couple of years ago I
was in the middle lane of the M25 and got overtaken by a Honda Accord who
quite properly indicated and moved back towards the middle lane. A small
blue car shot out from the nearside lane and the Honda swerved to avoid him.
The Honda started to spin at about 80mph, gripped, missed the blue car and
shot across the motorway towards the hard shoulder. There was actually no
hard shoulder but two further lanes of the sliproad. He crossed those and
t-boned the armco, flew up into the air, landed on the boot, rolled onto the
roof and slid at about 30 mph back across the two lanes of the sliproad
gently overtaking me in the inside lane as I had braked hard by this time.
Before he had stopped moving my wife was calmly chatting to the emergency
services. I remarked that it would be a fatal accident as bits of the car
were all over the motorway, the air filter was out, the glass was all gone,
the bonnet was off etc.
Aided by a van driver we pulled two kids out the back window ( as the car
was smoking ), Mum out the side and Dad got out himself. The only injury was
a bumped head on the mother and hysterics all round. Couldn't believe it.
