Who's crashed?

Post by L14MNP » 07 Nov 2012 12:36 pm

My mate, a courier, says he saw a 340/360 involved in a bit of a pile up at around 07:30 today on the A406.

All I know is the car was a D reg and a saloon. Sound familiar?

Here's hoping whoever it is walked away without being too sore!

Bad news, but at least it did its job bravely and kept the puny humans safe.

Sorry to hear that dude, at least we can gain some information from the pictures as far as 300's strength goes in crashes.
