How the hell did that happen
Would be good to hear why or how these accidents happen.
Usually a wrinkly suffering a medical episode, a scrote high on drugs or an inebriated tit. Rarely a sensible driver, driving to the conditions and alert to usual motoring hazards.
No, its usually people on their phones
Yes, like the ones who take these photographs for Island Echo from cars as they drive by. Hypocrites.
That’s pretty accurate actually. I think this crash happened the same time as the old bill car was how weird is that.
