Lucky to be alive. Thank God i was in an AU

[janek]

Guys, just a quick note...

At about 10pm Thursday night on my way down to Syd, my trailer jacknifed on the pacific highway near taree, slamming into the side of my car, sending me into an uncontrollable spin, wiping my car out and sending me spinning off the road.

I came to a stop bogged pretty solidly in the soft thick mud, with the boat and trailer upside down beside me, holes all down the drivers side and a huge line of freshly levelled ground behind me.

All ocupants escaped without a scratch, but the boat and trailer are write offs (contents of boat was stolen overnight... bastards), and the car is a mangled wreck. NRMA is having a look at it on thursday. the spare wheel well is mangled and bent, the towbar doesnt sit straight (towbar is fine, its the mounting points that are stuffed), front bar is no more, rear quarters dented badly, rear bar half torn off, and tree damage 360 degrees.

That being said, i am so glad i was in my au. i left the road at about 100kph, wiped out easily 100m of trees and median strip, and no one lost their lives, or even got hurt at all! I am so lucky to be alive.

Apologies for closing the highway for the recovery thurs night and friday morning to those who were affected.
