i was driving home earlier, dont know if anyone knows the road between Hooton Roberts and Conisbrough in Rotherham, the A630, where there is an overtaking lane up the hill.
Came to an accident there, had to stop - policeman waving traffic past the other way. A yellow ferrari looked like something had grabbed it and bent it in half, literally, and the body panels were like paper crumpled up. About 4 other cars involved. About 4 ambulances in total were in attendance, along with a couple of police cars. I doubt very much the driver of the ferrari survived, though the impact was on the passenger side, the car was VERY badly damaged, i have never seen anything like it.
I reckon he was overtaking DOWN the hill, while a car was overtaking up the hill, appearing from round the bend at the bottom (there's one lane in the middle, both sides can use it (uphill has priority) until about 100yds from the bend. The ferarri driver panicked, put full right lock on, went skidding sideways into oncoming car (both doing 50+mph)
Merely seeing this accident scene shook me up a bit, I mean, when i had an accident not so long ago (october), i realise now how lucky me and my family were, and how much worse it could have been . . . and if i had been on that road 10 mins before . . . .
What's the worst accident you have seen / had?
EDIT just found this picture, similar damage scale to this ferarri i saw
