Very lucky no serious injuries! When you see the front end damage to the car
One of the occupants was a young lad, he broke both his legs and his femur 🙁
More bad driving on the I o w
Assumptions, Anything could of happened, Not always down to bad driving. I have been in a vehicle when a large tree branch has fallen literally infront of the car and have had to swerve. Unless you were there you have no idea what the situation was.
Yes indeed anything could have happened.
However countering other peoples assumptions with your scenario of swerving to avoid a tree branch by heading straight into another vehicle would be a pretty good example of very bad driving I would have thought.
Perhaps best if all assumptions were left a little while for those pesky facts to emerge eh?
How dare you say that you selfish stuck up knob you have know idea how or why this happened
get out
Do you honestly not get bored of commenting the same crap on every accident? I am willing to bet money that you’re not exactly a perfect driver (if you even have a licence!). Let’s just hope that you don’t have an accident and people blame your driving…
It would be interesting to know how the delivery van was parked. In my experience they seem to park where they like often in illegal places such as on a pedestrian crossing.
it would be interesting to know the speed of the car. LOOK AT THE DAMAGE!
If you read the report the speed didn’t exceed 45 mph, no alcohol or anything was detected at the incident either, blind corner, one of those things, they are going to be ok and that mate is what you should be thinking
If it was my family member I would really appreciate someone joking about it. Imbecile.
Not funny you prick
Sometimes parking is an issue, there’re only there for 5 minutes so it doesn’t matter does it.
Do you give the postman a hard time too !!!
Hope the delivery driver is ok
