Except the impact was my front wheel to his rear.

If I had made an error and clipped the corner of the parked vehicle then the first impact would have been my front wing on the other rear wing, neither of which show any damage. The first impact was wheel to wheel which is a physical impossibility unless one or the other was seriously out of...

I mentioned the drive shaft as this was the piece I described on page 1 which was lying in the road. Someone picked it up and said "Half shaft broke". I guess if the ball joint went first, allowing the wheel to move left under its own steam..... impact with the other cars rear wheel and then...

Unfortunately I can't take any more pics. I went over to the place where it was recovered to empty my personal stuff. I wanted to take some more but they wouldn't let me. They said that as it was recovered by the police, photographs were not allowed??? I think whatever it was that broke allowed...

This is the parked vehicle

This is my car

There was no warning of any kind, no bearing or other noise. The accident was instant, I was driving completely normally, then an instant later one hell of a bang and I'm on 2 wheels.

I don't think it was the propshaft. There was definately wheel to wheel impact (my NSF to the other OSR). The surprising part is that the corresponding wings were not damaged. I think something happened on my NSF suspension/drive which caused my wheel to move out away from the car. Can't really...

I seem to remember there was a groove across the road after the accident. I'll have to get back and chesk it out.

I'm OK now but police took me to Derriford Hospital because I had chest pain. I think they thought I had had a heart attack but it was just the airbag impact in my chest. Had blood tests, ecg, and chest x-ray and all fine. Blood pressure was sky high but that was to be expected. In total spent...

You'll have to forgive my lack of knowlege, I can just about change a spark plug. There was a piece lying on the road which was approx 25mm diameter with splines on the end. This section was approx 75mm long and then went into a 75mm metal cylinder which again was 75mm long. It was broken behind...

From the last MOT "Subframe mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive Central rear (and connecting components (5.3.6(a) (1) (i))" "Shock absorber of oil or has limited damping effect Offside Front ( 5.3.2 (b)" Mileage at MOT was 77291 and is to date just over 79000

It's a Honda CRV, 20 years old but only 79K. I think whatever came loose must have contacted the rear wheel of the parked car and that caused the car to nearly flip. The parked car was a Fiat Punto

No, the car was parked correctly, it seems first contact was my front NS wheel to the other OS rear wheel

I had an accident a couple of nights ago and what happened is a complete mystery to me. I was driving down a local road and needed to pass a parked car, so I pulled out. There was a car approaching but there was PLENTY of time to complete the manouver. As I was just about to pass the parked...
