Hi I have to day been contacted by Bat21 (paul)
He has informed me that he has been involved in a road Traffic Accident Rear ended by a Lorry.
His patrol Rolled several times leaving them trapped in the patrol for more than an hour
until they were cut free, they have lost every thing in the car,
there mobile phone battery is low and have lost all belongings and chargers.
They are suffering many Injuries but nothing Broken and stuck in Spain.
and there insurance is being shit.
This is the last word I have heard at this time, I am trying to get local contact number
were i can contact him has any one ells heard anything at all.
please do not try to call him at this time there is no response from the phone

Sorry to hear that,Dave. I'm sure we all wish everyone involved a speedy and full recovery. Hope their injuries are not too serious. Send our best if you do manage to make contact again. It might be small consolation but my brother's wife took ill on holiday in Spain and spent ime in hospital there, says the treatment in the hospital was first class and staff couldn't do enough for her. They all spoke perfect English ,too.

Capt Limey is north of the border up the other side of Toulouse, probably too far away though, depending on where Bat is?
Hope they make a speedy full recovery.
As already said the truck can be replaced.
Sorry to hear this news,but has been said material things can be replaced,hopefully they make good recovery.JD

Hi Guys
Capt Limey here. I'm about four hours from the Spanish border and happy to offer whatever assistance I can. (Don't speak the lingo but good at sign language!) Anyone know where Bat and family are in Spain?
I recall there was an introduction from the Spanish Nissan 4X4 club some time last year, perhaps another source of local assistance???
Keep up the info flow.
Regards CL.

Hope they get sorted and have a speedy recovery.
All the best Floyd
Shocking news, that’s the last thing anyone needs, here’s hoping all goes ok and they have a speedy return & recovery.

Sorry to hear the news & hope they have a speedy recovery:thumb2Glad they were in the troll & not on the bike
Anyone had any news from them?? would have thought they wouldbe back by now.
Thanks for the kind offers of help guys, we got back yesterday afternoon, my poor Patrol will not be coming home though. A Moroccan driving a French breakdown truck decided to ram us off the motorway in Torrablanca, we were doing 58mph (GPS evidence) and he was doing approximately 90 - 100 on impact :(
Lucy and I are still extremely traumatized from the whole thing and will be off to the docs in the morning.
Before the off

Paul I'm just glad you're both alive.
Take whatever help you need mate to get over the trauma, it may take a while.
ATb, Nathan.
Absolutely shocked by the news and pictures. Good that you are both alive and reasonably well. Material things can get replaced, the important thing is that you're both here and home.
If I can do any small thing, let me know.
Regards to you and Family, Go Steady, Lee, Sue and nippers.

That was one dreadful smash, a nightmare, I am very happy to hear that you are back in the UK bruised but not badly injured...... It will take some time to get over the shock, I wish you both well. regards bri

Our best wishes, hope you both have a speedy recovery.

PAUL DO LOTTERY THIS WEEK,But glad to see you have both survived a horrendous ordeal,:thumbs
Paul,happy that both you and your wife are reasonably ok. Wish you both a speedy recovery.
Hello Paul and Lucy.
So pleased to see your both back home safe at last and it must be such a relief to have walked in though your front door to a much safer place after what you have been though.
I have met you both and can say I know you a little more than some on here and looking at Lucy’s face in photo 7 I can see the fear in her face while stood beside your motor she just looks so dazed and shocked, Maybe shes just counting your blessings?
I think members have said it all and I really don’t know what more I can add only that you have our best wishes and hope you both take it steady and make a full recovery.
Best wishes and regards from both of us.
Mav.

I just looked at the photos, and its hard to beleive anyone coud walk away from that! I wont say you were luky because if you were you wouldn't have been in the acident at all. There is not a lot of luck in getting involved in a collision like that. Glad to know you are both OK, All the best! :thumbs
After seeing the pics that was not an everyday shunt, as been said very,very lucky.
